WHAT’S COOL ABOUT THIS JOB:
As an OF/BY/FOR ALL Community Catalyst, you’ll help changemakers from civic and cultural organizations around the world build more inclusive institutions. You’ll serve as a coach, facilitator, trainer, and cheerleader to museums, libraries, parks, theaters, cultural centers, and community institutions. We provide the curriculum and the platform; you provide your expertise as an online organizer, educator, and facilitator of inclusive change. While most of your work will be online, you’ll also help with live training bootcamps and events around the world. You’ll be part of a small, diverse staff team who are passionate about equity, inclusion, and getting shit done. You’ll have a front seat at the founding of a fast-growth social movement, and we’ll invite you to jump into new opportunities and activities as we grow.

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
Qualify organizations for participation in the OF/BY/FOR ALL Change Network. Talk with interested organizations to answer their questions and assess their readiness to participate.
Support organizations in the OF/BY/FOR ALL Change Network. Provide coaching, motivation, and support to teams as they adopt new practices for community involvement. Connect teams with each other and spark healthy dialogue in the online network. Inform participants about opportunities to go deeper and to share their stories, successes, and challenges with others. Work with the other Community Catalyst to identify and implement new ways to engage and energize teams and deepen their involvement in the network.
Evaluate and improve the participant experience. Work with colleagues to track, analyze, and assess participant experience in the Change Network program. Launch experiments and changes to improve the experience. This may include directly changing/improving specific processes and offerings, as well as recommending changes to the overall program.
Build broad interest in OF/BY/FOR ALL on social media and our website. Help create and manage content www.ofbyforall.org and related social media assets, telling stories of OF/BY/FOR ALL participants and their growth journeys in the Change Network.

Participate in offering training, speeches, and workshops. Identify and act on ways to improve events in terms of logistics, marketing, and participant experience.
Take on occasional random projects to support a young, fast-growing nonprofit. We’re a small team, and everyone chips in. From time to time, you may be asked to source sweatshirts, research a specific racial equity framework, a dental insurance plan… you’re on it. When someone has a question they can’t answer themselves, they’ll come to you for help.
