Social Media + Program Coordinator (Contract)

 

About genEquality

Founded in 2017, genEquality is a 501(c)3 social enterprise on a mission to creatively activate social change. Through our partnerships and work with schools, companies, and communities, we address broader issues of equality, inclusion, and safety in our communities and culture.

 

Role and Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced Social Media + Program Coordinator for our Nudge Art programs, primarily on our New York City programs.

Through our Nudge Art programming, we engage, educate, and empower leaders and changemakers who want to make a difference. Our outputs are facilitated discussions, educational workshops, and community-driven works of art; our outcomes are local leadership development, community-building, and advancement of equality and inclusion. You can learn more about some past Nudge Art programs here: Wagner Houses, Stapleton Houses, Kurt Hahn Expeditionary High School, Townsend Harris High School.

Each Nudge Art program is unique because no two classrooms or communities are exactly alike, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for equality and inclusion. However, all Nudge Art programs do share a common framework and common traits. Every Nudge Art program begins with educational workshops and culminates with the creation of a unique work of art in a public area. All Nudge Art murals share three traits:

  1.   Led by a local artist,

  2.   Co-created by community,

  3.   Stand for equality, inclusion, and belonging. 

As Social Media + Program Coordinator, you will lead our social media presence and assist with execution of Nudge Art programs. This includes:

  • Managing and growing genEquality’s social media presence to further awareness of organization’s programs and impact

  • Creating original digital content including reels, posts, and short videos

  • Assisting the Program Manager and Program Director in program operations

  • Assisting with coordination of program partners, participants, and volunteers

  • Assisting with program materials procurement

  • Building good working relationships and interfacing with program partners to ensure successful program execution 

  • Being an integral member of the program team in order to ensure smooth operational execution

The ideal candidate will be a highly organized operational team member who is able to efficiently and effectively support the execution of program operations. The Program Coordinator will work directly with genEquality’s Nudge Art Program Director, other Directors, Nudge Art Program Manager, and Teaching Artists, as well as leaders and stakeholders from program partner organizations including the NYC Mayor’s Office, the Community Fund for Public Housing, NYC Housing Authority, and others. The Program Coordinator will interface directly with participants and the community, and will be an integral part of the program delivery team (alongside the Program Manager, Teaching Artist(s), and other genEquality team members, as needed).

The genEquality team is geographically dispersed and works in a hybrid model. For place-based program execution (e.g. mural setup, painting days, etc), team members must be on-site and in-person. However, for other program and management work, team members may work from home.

This is a ~6 week contract opportunity with potential for extension into a full-time opportunity.
