About this exam
The New York City Community Coordinator Examination is a municipal civil-service exam for candidates seeking Community Coordinator positions with New York City agencies. The exam is intended to assess skills relevant to coordinating community programs, working with residents and partner organizations, and supporting local service delivery. Depending on the current Notice of Examination, candidates who meet the stated requirements may take the test to qualify for an eligible list. Passing does not guarantee appointment; agencies may consider list standing, vacancies, and other applicable requirements.
Preparation should focus on the work of community coordination, including community needs assessment, neighborhood asset mapping, outreach planning, audience identification, and engagement methods for NYC neighborhoods. Candidates may also review program design, measurable goals, and logic models. The exact exam format, tested subject areas, and eligibility rules can change by exam cycle, so use the official NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Notice of Examination as the authority. For the 2027–2028 cycle, confirm current details there before relying on older study materials.
How to prepare for the NYC Community Coordinator Exam
- Review needs-assessment methods and practice distinguishing community needs from existing neighborhood assets; connect both to realistic program priorities.

- Read the current DCAS Notice of Examination for the tested subject areas, eligibility criteria, exam format, and application instructions; use it to guide your study plan.
