What you will be responsible for:
You will be recruiting for and organizing a new network of early childhood educators in Chicago. These will all be teachers new to their roles at area Jewish early childhood centers. As the local coordinator for a national initiative (called ElevatEd) based in a dozen cities around the country, you will create and nurture a local cohort of up to 30 teachers, with the support of fellow coordinators and support staff at ElevatEd. Your work is important: While new teachers often feel isolated and vulnerable, research has shown that mentoring and support can boost their confidence and enthusiasm. This is the magic that you will be making for them.
Outside of this national project, you will also serve as a vital member of JUF’s early childhood team, which supports 37 early childhood programs in the area and advocates for the importance of early childhood education. On this team, you will bring critical thinking and an eagerness to hit the ground running and lead your own projects while also acting as a team player to contribute to the projects of others.
If you are looking for relational, mission-driven work in a culture that fosters a sense of belonging and feels rewarding, supportive, and inclusive, this is the position for you. This is a two-year grant-funded position, but it is likely there will be the opportunity to join the team as a permanent employee after the grant ends. The salary range for this position is $50,000-$65,000.
