DfAB Executive Director
Dance for All Bodies is looking for 2-3 new *disabled* volunteer directors to run its programming! As the Executive Director you will be responsible for overseeing all sectors of the organization (Class Coordination/Social Media/Funding/Outreach, etc) and ensuring the whole of the organization functions smoothly. This position requires strong communication and organizational skills as you will be managing multiple projects with overlapping timelines, communicating and supporting a team of volunteers, and liaising with stakeholders and potential partners.
If you are self-driven, motivated, and eager to grow your leadership skills, this is the position for you. You must also believe in the power of the arts as a tool for social change and want to use dance to challenge ableist stereotypes. If you don’t have a lot of experience but are driven to and feel compelled by this mission, we still encourage you to apply.
The two current Executive Directors will be transitioning out of their positions and will train the incoming Directors for ~3 months before having them fully take over the Executive Director position.
Location: We accept applications from all around the U.S. as this position is remote!
Essential Functions
1- Project Management
2- Long Term Leadership and Partnership Building
3- Volunteer Staff Support
4- Fundraising/Finance
5- Dance Classes
6- General Operations
Key Competencies/Skills
Work Environment
All work will be done remotely. You will be facilitating and leading meetings once every two weeks.
Compensation
This position is currently an uncompensated volunteer position. However, there might be opportunities for you to get small stipends based on funding & corporate partnership opportunities. We are starting to build the groundwork for doing partnership with corporate and non-corporate spaces to bring inclusive dance class programming or presentations on access, allyship and disability justice to their communities. If you already have experience as a speaker or presenter, please feel free to share that experience with us too!
Expected Hours of Work
This position requires a great amount of commitment and organization. You are encouraged to apply as a team as we are looking for 2 or 3 people who can each give 6-8 hours/week.
Preferred Education and Experience
At DfAB we believe that experience comes in many different forms. We want to prioritize those who demonstrate a strong commitment to our mission and are therefore willing to commit a great amount of time, thought, and effort into this cause. If you have previous experience in this field, we would love to learn more about your experiences through any previous work, a portfolio, or other examples. If not, don’t worry, we would still love to see how you can help us!
Accessibility Commitment
As mentioned already, we are only accepting applications from disabled individuals. If there is a part of this application process that is not accessible to you, please communicate with us at info@danceforallbodies.org so that we can find a solution. If you are selected to interview, we will inquire about any access needs you may have.
