    Are you looking for a mission-driven non-profit where your skills can help people in need around the world? At the Jewish United Fund (JUF), we take pride in our mission and in having a work culture that fosters a sense of belonging and feels rewarding, supportive, and inclusive.

Responsibilities include collaborating with educational institutions, overseeing educational programs, and creating initiatives that promote understanding and unity. Please note: this is not a classroom style teaching role.

    • Develop and implement assessment tools to measure the impact and success of academic programs, adjusting strategies as needed to ensure effectiveness in combating antisemitism and fostering community building.
    • Serve as a representative of the organization in academic and community settings, advocating for initiatives that align with our mission and values.
    • Stay abreast of academic trends, research, and best practices related to antisemitism and community building, incorporating innovative approaches into our programs.
    • Facilitate forums, workshops, and events to actively engage with communities, promoting dialogue, understanding, and collaboration.
    • Be responsible for assessing the effectiveness of programs and initiatives, maintaining strong partnerships with external organizations, and contributing to a campus culture that promotes tolerance and respect.
    What you need to succeed:
    • Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g., school administration, organizational psychology, education policy, public policy, public administration, etc.)
    • 2+ years experience in strategic planning, community engagement, or work within education systems.
    • In-depth understanding of antisemitism, its historical context, and contemporary challenges.
    • Excellent communication, writing, and presentation skills.
    • Strong networking and relationship-building abilities.
    • Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
    • Flexible mindset as priorities change and ability to multi-task within time constraints.
    • Familiarity with the Israel-related-campus landscape.
    • Knowledge of American political landscape.
    • Fluency with social media.
    • Strong interpersonal skills, leadership experience, and a commitment to fostering inclusive environments are essential for success in this role.
    What you'll love about us:

    At JUF, you can be part of one of the largest non-profit social welfare institutions in Illinois. We provide food, refuge, healthcare, education, emergency assistance, and essential services to 500,000 Chicagoans of all faiths and millions of Jews around the world.
