What Is IMPACT?
IMPACT is a nationally-recognized, trauma-informed self-defense program that empowers people - especially women and other vulnerable groups - to set boundaries and protect themselves physically, emotionally, and verbally. Our unique approach uses full-force, scenario-based training with instructors in padded armor, providing a realistic, safe space to learn and grow.
The Operations & Outreach Coordinator serves as the operational hub of IMPACT Chicago.
This role owns the full cycle of program operations, from community outreach and enrollment through course logistics and post-program follow-up. The Coordinator is expected to take full ownership of their areas of responsibility, exercise independent judgment, and bring a strategic perspective to the work.
This is not a clerical role. It requires initiative, relationship-building skills, comfort with ambiguity, and a genuine commitment to IMPACT's mission.
