Crown Heights Afro-Caribbean Community Mobilizer
About
Repair the World 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 inspire and catalyze one million acts of service towards repairing the world.
In 2015, Repair the World NYC was launched and opened a storefront community space, called “The Workshop”on Nostrand Ave in Crown Heights. The Workshop serves as a hub for our work in Central Brooklyn, operating primarily a workspace for our Fellows by day and a vibrant event space for all Brooklynites during evenings and weekends. The Workshop has shifted to be a mutual aid storage center in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Position Overview
Repair the World NYC is looking for a dynamic Community Mobilizer to deepen relationships across lines of difference in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. The Community Mobilizer will engage youth and adult community members toward increasing understanding and partnership between the Chabad Jewish and Afro-Caribbean, primarily non-Jewish Black communities in Crown Heights through meaningful connections by way of service learning programs, education events, and social programming in areas of joint interest. This pilot program will eventually aim to recruit a cohort of Chabah and Black community members to serve, learn and host external events for community members.
This position would report to NYC Repair's Executive Director, and work collaboratively and closely with Repair's greater NYC staff team and local partners. It is a part time role up to 25 hours a week. This is a pilot program that requires a two year commitment.
