Working with the Senior Program Director, who sets program strategy, this person keeps Unpacked Scholars, our fellowships, and our camp programming on track. They serve as the day-to-day contact for partner schools and camps, coordinate our Education Associates, and spend real time in the room facilitating retreats and sessions. The teens in these programs return to their schools and communities ready to elevate the Jewish conversation, and this is the person who makes those experiences happen. Unpacked for Educators is the education division of OpenDor Media, a leading global nonprofit media company. Through Unpacked Teens, we develop thoughtful young Jewish leaders, using retreats, fellowships, camps, and immersive experiences to help teens explore their identity, engage with Israel in meaningful ways, and build a national community. ### Requirements ### What this role owns: - Scholars and fellowships.

We need a facilitator who loves leading a large group of teens and can help them explore hard questions honestly. - A relationship builder. This role depends on earning the trust of school administrators, camp directors, and teens, and on keeping those relationships strong between programs. - Calm across many moving parts.
