Full-time

Position Description

Are you interested in leading groups or working with teenagers and young adults? Do you want to help make a difference in the life of a young person?

Would you like to teach immigrant youth about American civic life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this might be the opportunity for you! Liberty's Promise seeks an energetic, Spanish-speaking facilitator in Alexandria for its after-school program of civic engagement.

Liberty's Promise supports young immigrants in need while encouraging them to be active and conscientious American citizens.

The program serves immigrant youth, ages 15-21, and features more than 30 hours of programming that teaches participants about their community, civics, college, and careers.

Unlike typical classroom civics courses, immigrant youth gain first-hand knowledge of local government and the benefits of civic participation through field trips to local community resources and meetings with guest speakers.

Our spring programs will take place twice a week for ten weeks from April to mid-June and include one or two Saturday field trips.

Facilitators are expected to develop 30-minute activities that target each session's theme / main activity with the support and guidance of Liberty's Promise staff.

Facilitators are also required to submit a short activity report at the end of each session and to complete a final report at the end of the semester.

  • High school diploma
  • Experience teaching or leading groups
  • Energetic, engaging, and enthusiastic
  • Good organizational and communication skills
  • Dependable and self-motivated
  • Knowledge of government / civics
  • Experience working with multicultural youth
  • Commitment to issues of immigration, community involvement, and national strength through diversity
  • Fluency in Spanish and English
  • Able to pass a background check

This program takes place at Jackson Reed High School on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3 : 45-5 : 15pm, although facilitators should expect to be at the program 15 minutes prior to the start, and 15 minutes after the end time.

Applicants for this program must be fluent in English and Spanish.

Compensation :

This is a contract position - facilitators are paid $1,000 at the beginning of the semester, and another $1,000 upon receipt of the final report.
