Hello, new to the forum. I have a position as a residential service coordinator for a site belonging to a nonprofit, and have been working there since 12/2024. This site is a safe parking site for unhoused folks living in RVs. In this role, I basically do rounds on residents, decide whether to let visitors on-site, and record what happens during my shift. Since this is a relatively new site, there's a revolving door of people coming from other sites such as case managers, fellow RSCs, and so on, while I'm basically the only one who works there consistently. My supervisors are available by phone, but they are typically working at other sites themselves. Because I am often the one most familiar with the site, I have been making a lot of the decisions as to who is permitted on-site, sometimes in extenuating circumstances, such as a case in which a client passed away and his family members wished to visit his space within the lot. In addition, I have trained several people who come from other sites and filled them in on the workings of my site, although these people typically return to their own sites because they are temporary helpers.
Unfortunately, I have not had traditional leadership roles such as coaching or club positions, which is why I'm thinking about framing this experience as leadership. I trained several students in my undergraduate lab on laboratory techniques, but this was not a structured, particularly longitudinal, or "official" activity. I have also been a biology lab teaching assistant, in which I assisted in the demonstration of lab techniques, helped proctor, and helped prepare labs before class. If you have advice to offer to someone in my position, I would greatly appreciate it.
