Senior Program Associate, Miami

at  Repair the World

ABOUT

Repair the World (https://werepair.org) mobilizes Jews and their communities to take action to pursue a just world. We believe that service in support of social change is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life. By 2030, Repair will catalyze one million acts of service towards repairing the world.
Repair is building a national Jewish service movement of flourishing Jewish communities that serve in pursuit of a just world. Repair mobilizes young adults to serve in their communities, catalyzes service through deep partnerships within Jewish communal organizations, and inspires people to take action through time-bound thematic national service campaigns. Our mission provides volunteers with an increased connection to meaningful service and learning as a Jewish value, builds capacity for nonprofit partners to meet their missions, and deepens connections across lines of difference.

POSITION OVERVIEW

Miami Repair is seeking a dynamic Senior Program Associate to support our service corps—Repair’s signature immersive service experience—a time-bound, stipended cohort program where participants engage in volunteering with a service partner and weekly Jewish learning as a group. The candidate will also plan and facilitate meaningful Jewish service learning programs for non-immersive service participants or for the broader Jewish community, and engage local Repair alumni to recruit their peers in service and learning.
The service corps mobilizes young adults to meet community needs through part-time, time-bound service. Young adults, ages 18-29, serve directly with local partners providing direct services, learn about social change and local context for their service, and Jewish wisdom in community through weekly learning sessions with their peers. Through pairing service with Jewish learning and values, Miami Repair provides an entry-point to Jewish life for Jewish young adults who may not be traditionally engaged with the broader Jewish community.
In addition to the service corps, the Senior Program Associate will also create and implement dynamic and engaging Jewish service learning programs in partnership with Jewish communal and service partner organizations, as well as with local Alumni Ambassadors.
The successful candidate will be an aspiring experiential Jewish educator, community builder, flexible self-starter and a strong facilitator. They excel at building relationships with individuals and can speak passionately about the intersection of service, social change, and Jewish values.
