Frequently cited statistics show that historical biases in hiring lead to less applications from women and underrepresented groups unless they have 100% of the qualifications. GatherDC is committed to removing bias in hiring; as such, we encourage you to break that statistic and apply. No one ever meets 100% of the qualifications! We look forward to your application.
WHO WE ARE:
Growing from the success of hyperlocal GatherDC’s relational engagement methodology, Gather, Inc. is an emergent project that trains change agents in the Jewish community to bring a relationship-centered approach to every aspect of their work. Gather, Inc. is a web of cities, community partners, and networks that is changing how Jewish life happens—one relationship at a time. We support and empower young adults, Jewish professionals, leaders, and organizations to build compelling and sustainable Jewish lives that are relevant, active, and meaningful to them and their communities. Because when relationships are at the center, Jewish life—and the people in it—thrives.
GatherDC is one of two on-the-ground relational projects of Gather, Inc. (with GatherBay as a sibling city in the East Bay) and is the central platform for post-college/pre-family Jewish life across the DMV, building one of the most dynamic and inclusive cities for millennial and Gen Z Jewish life. We strengthen the fabric of Jewish life throughout the DMV, facilitating innovative opportunities for meaningful and relevant Jewish learning and stewarding relationships to help Jews in their 20s and 30s connect to Jewish organizations and to each other. We work with the rich network of Jewish communal synagogues, JCCs, and organizations across DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia to help them best serve young Jewish adults, and we champion relationship-based engagement, understanding that a thriving Jewish ecosystem is only as strong as the relationships we build with individuals and with the wider community.
WHAT YOU’LL DO*:
Manage GatherDC’s New-to-DMV Initiatives 50%
Immerse yourself in DMV Jewish community 30%
General office tasks 20%
These are considered the essential functions of this role. Please note that this role will require a fair amount of in-person meetings across the DMV, in addition to Zoom/virtual meetings.

NOTES:
We appreciate the excitement—but in an effort to increase equity in our hiring process and mitigate the “bump” sometimes given to applicants with relationships with “insiders,” Gather does not accept informal recommendations or referrals from individuals with personal connections to our staff or Board members.

Barring reasonable accommodations for documented medical exemptions, proof of vaccination is a condition for employment.

We also welcome applications from people of diverse religious, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds.
