College Campus Coordinator (Full-Time)
Reports to: Manager, Community Education and Outreach
Womankind uses the multidimensionality of our Asian heritage to work alongside survivors of gender-based violence as they build a path to healing. Through our programs, we offer access to a safe place to live, counseling, legal assistance, wellness activities, and so much more. Womankind is an expert in serving Asian communities, yet our services are valuable and available to all. Whether in our services or in our increasing advocacy and policy work, Womankind first centers the survivor by uplifting them to control their own lives and narratives. In addition to promoting healing and safety through service provision, Womankind promotes gender justice through research, coalition building, policy analysis, and community education and mobilization.
College Campus Coordinator will work within the Community Education and Outreach program to mobilize youth ages 18 to 24 to address gender-based violence. Womankind believes that conducting, strengthening, and expanding gender-based violence prevention work for college-aged young adults is vital to creating safer communities. By building relationships with students, student leaders, faculty, staff on campuses and young adults off campuses, we are able to build a network of resources for survivors and their loved ones as well as foster reflection, accountability, and healing.
College Campus Coordinator is expected to build and strengthen both formal and informal relationships on college campuses within New York City, especially those with significant Asian student populations. Much of this work will be done through recurrent needs assessments on and off campuses, developing partnerships and collaborations, and engaging in outreach events. The College Campus Coordinator will attend community education and outreach events, develop and facilitate presentations/trainings, support/co-facilitate group work and conduct related research to expand preventative gender-based violence work at higher education institutions.
