    The Director of Education and Youth Programming will advance Makom's mission of connecting diverse downtown Jewish children, teens, and families with high-quality Jewish education, meaningful Jewish experiences, and vibrant Jewish community. Reporting to Makom's Rabbi and working closely with him and the Managing Director, the Director of Education and Youth Programming will strengthen Hebrew and Jewish learning, grow Makom Afterschool's and Makom ATID's student bodies, and expand the reach and deepen the impact of Makom Families, pre-teens, and Downtown Jewish Teens programming.

  • Communicate with current and prospective students' parents;
  • Plan field trips and special activities;
  • Design and oversee implementation of student learning assessments;
  • Evaluate programs;
  • Meet with lay leaders on Makom Afterschool/ATID Leadership Council; and

    • Additionally, as the Director of Youth Programming (20% of fulltime), the successful candidate will:

  • Form warm relationships with families, pre-teens, and teens and help them connect with Jewish life and Makom;
  • Develop and run monthly programming for Makom Families, pre-teens, and Downtown Jewish Teens;
  • Plan and lead Family Services for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, and occasional Shabbatot;
  • Recruit participants; and
  • Maintain and expand existing community partnerships.
