Position Overview:
The New York Justice Fellowship Director will help relaunch Avodah’s Justice Fellowship in NYC, which has been on pause since 2020. The Justice Fellowship is a unique learning experience, rooted in Avodah’s years of empowering change-makers with systemic analysis, leadership skills, burnout inoculation, Jewish depth and a robust communal network. Through workshops, dialogues, retreats, coaching, peer-mentoring, project-based learning, and community events, the program seeks to grow Jewish leadership for social justice. The Justice Fellowship Director will oversee all aspects of the Fellowship, from recruiting and outreach (in collaboration with the national recruitment team), to program planning and facilitation, to individual coaching and support of Justice Fellows.
Specific responsibilities may include:
- Implement and serve as lead staff person on all aspects of in-person programming (roughly 3 programs per month, including 3 retreats over the course of the Fellowship term). This will often include direct facilitation and teaching work, and will also include collaboration with outside speakers, collaboration with Fellows, and handling the logistics of the programs;
- Provide resources and mentorship to Fellows related to their work, community-building, leadership development and Jewish identity;
- Work with fellows on specific leadership skill-building projects; and
- With support and guidance from the Recruitment team, manage outreach and recruitment for new Fellows, including executing on the application, interview and selection process.
About you:
We are looking for candidates who have at least 5 years of relevant experience, as well the skills and competencies listed below. We know that systemic inequities in hiring have caused people from historically marginalized groups to only apply to jobs if they meet 100% of the qualifications. We encourage you to break this statistic and apply, as no one ever meets 100% of the qualifications. We look forward to your application.
- You are an experienced educator and facilitator who can translate our curriculum into an excellent program on the ground and create innovative programs where you see a need.
- You build strong relationships and support the creation of strong communities. You can mentor and guide young adults in developing their own leadership and building relationships. You’re skilled at conducting outreach to prospective applicants and communities, and bringing people in.
- You have a deep knowledge of our key content areas including: anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks; domestic poverty and social justice issues; the range and diversity of Jewish identity and practice; and leadership development for young adults.
- You are committed to integrating social justice activism and Jewish life.
- You are accountable for your own work and are a strong project manager. You juggle competing demands, prioritize with ease, and are efficient with your time. You are comfortable with deadlines.
- You are able to work evenings and weekends.
