Why

This is a paid, in-person SF coordinator role at RAMS, a well-established community behavioral health nonprofit, working with SFDPH on a youth advisory board for ages 17-25. It fits her interest in mental health and community services, public-sector psychology in practice, and her coordination and outreach background. It is an entry-level role and effectively full-time employment, but timing is the main risk because it likely needs to start before she graduates in May 2027. She has no formal youth-program or advisory-board facilitation experience, and the truncated posting hides requirements. It is worth applying and asking about a part-time arrangement or a delayed start.

Watch out for

Posting text is truncated, so full duties and requirements are unclear
Likely full-time and may need to start before May 2027; she would need the employer to hold the start or hire her as a part-time hire
Posted 2026-09-06, so it may be filled by graduation
Role may prefer lived experience or youth-engagement or program coordination experience she lacks
Salary of $52k comes from the aggregator and is not confirmed

Resume angles

Event Coordinator, Encinitas Friends of the Arts: logistics and community outreach for public events, including events elevating Hispanic culture
Gallery Associate: coordinated several concurrent projects, kept accurate client documentation, and wrote proposals and presentations
Operations Staff, Kiddleton: daily Excel tracking across three locations, reports to headquarters, and customer-facing work with families and children

Who to reach

First: Search LinkedIn for a RAMS TAY program manager and send the connection note today, since the posting is over a month old and timing is the biggest open question.

Roles to look for

TAY Program Manager / Director (TAY Services or Youth Services) · The posting says the TAYAB Coordinator manages a newly launched advisory board with support from another team. A RAMS TAY program manager is the most likely supervisor and can say whether a part-time start or a start after May 2027 is possible.
"Richmond Area Multi-Services" TAY program manager
Recruiter / HR Generalist · HR can confirm the real requirements hidden by the truncated posting, the salary, whether the role is still open since it was posted 2026-09-06, and whether the start can be held or made part-time.
"Richmond Area Multi-Services" recruiter OR "human resources"
Peer Programs or Youth Engagement Coordinator · A current coordinator can explain what the day-to-day work with TAY and SFDPH looks like and what experience the team actually values.
"Richmond Area Multi-Services" youth coordinator OR peer
SFDPH Behavioral Health TAY System of Care staff · SFDPH is the partner on this board. A conversation there helps her understand the system and points her toward related public-sector roles if this one does not fit her timing.
"San Francisco Department of Public Health" "Transitional Age Youth"

Draft connection note (264/300)

Hi, I'm a USF psychology senior graduating May 2027 and interested in the TAY SOC Advisory Board Coordinator role at RAMS. I've coordinated community arts events and track daily ops across three sites. Could I ask you a few questions about the role and its timing?

Draft email

Subject: USF psychology senior asking about the TAY SOC Advisory Board Coordinator role

Hi,

I'm Calder Salisbury, a psychology senior at the University of San Francisco graduating in May 2027. I'm interested in the TAY SOC Advisory Board Coordinator role because I want to work in community mental health, and helping young people build leadership inside the behavioral health system is the kind of work I hope to do.

I've coordinated logistics and outreach for public arts events with Encinitas Friends of the Arts, and I now keep daily tracking and reports across three locations for a retail operations job. I haven't run an advisory board before.

Would you have 15 minutes to talk about what the role needs, and whether a part-time start during my senior year or a start after May 2027 could work?

Thank you,
Calder Salisbury

Talking points

Event coordination and community outreach for Encinitas Friends of the Arts (2022, 2023), including events elevating Hispanic culture, which maps to recruiting members and running board meetings.
Current operations work at Kiddleton: daily Excel tracking across three locations and documentation and visual reports to headquarters, similar to the reporting a city-funded board needs for SFDPH.
Four years at Susan Street Fine Art coordinating several concurrent projects, writing proposals and presentations for corporate clients, and running the gallery's Instagram content, plus psychology coursework in research methods and psychopathology and ASL proficiency.

Questions to ask

Is the role still open, and could it start part-time (around 20 hours a week) during the school year or be held until after May 2027?
What does a successful first year look like for the newly launched advisory board, and how is the coordinator's work shared with SFDPH and the supporting team?
What experience matters most to you in this hire, such as lived experience, youth facilitation, or program coordination, and how could a candidate without formal youth-program experience show readiness?
