JOB POSTING: Director, Jewish Youth for Community Action (JYCA)
San Francisco Bay Area, CA (Berkeley/Oakland)
Jewish Youth for Community Action (JYCA) is an innovative leadership and political training program dedicated to empowering Jewish youth and working for social justice. JYCA is a youth led program in which participants collaborate with staff in aspects of organizational development and decision-making. JYCA not only aims to build strong youth leaders and activists for social change, but also seeks to create a radically different kind of youth culture that is inclusive, loving, and supportive of one another.
Staff and youth facilitate leadership trainings and workshops that examine issues of oppression and privilege such as: Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, Classism, Anti-Semitism, Adultism, and more. Youth also choose specific local political campaigns to work on in collaboration with allied organizations. For example, last year’s campaign was about fighting for economic justice. Victories included creating the Sukkah at Occupy Oakland and joining a coalition to successfully campaign for California Proposition 30.
JYCA’s Mission Statement: JYCA is a Jewish program created and led by youth to work towards progressive social change. We seek to educate, empower, and inspire political, social, and cultural awareness in young Jewish activists. By building a community based on trust, respect, and cooperative processes, we create a safe environment for examining ourselves, and world issues, through Jewish perspectives. - written by JYCA participants
We seek a creative, highly motivated Director who is enthusiastic about empowering young Jewish activists, and will be able to envision JYCA’s big picture while still being detail oriented. This is an excellent opportunity to make an impact on the Jewish social justice community and support the next generation of progressive Jewish activists. JYCA has been undergoing expansion over the last year and the new Director will have the exciting opportunity to work with the community to continue envisioning and growing.
JYCA is a terrific team of people who truly love the work! The JYCA office is located at Kehilla Synagogue in Oakland, with regular meetings in Downtown Berkeley. Please review the JYCA website for more information: www.jyca-justice.org and http://jyca.tumblr.com
