Moving Traditions seeks a temporary, United States based Curriculum Writer. This consultant position, funded by a generous grant from UJA Federation, is a fabulous and rare opportunity to make a difference in the lives of parents of Jewish teens.
ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY
Moving Traditions emboldens Jewish youth to thrive through the pursuit of personal wellbeing (shleimut), caring relationships (hesed), and a Jewish and feminist vision of equity and justice (tzedek). Combining positive psychology with Jewish values, we partner with Jewish institutions across North America to engage Jewish teens, families, and communities. Since its founding in January 2005, Moving Traditions has championed impact-focused youth-serving programs at the intersection of gender, wellbeing, and Judaism. Our suite of programs includes Moving Traditions B-Mitzvah Family Education Program for preteens and parents; Teen Groups for teens as they self-identify, with Rosh Hodesh for girls, Shevet for boys, Tzelem for LGBTQ+ teens; the Kulam curriculum for Hebrew High School settings; the Kol Koleinu Teen Feminist Fellowship; and Kumi: An Anti-Oppression Teen Leadership Experience. Finally, through CultureShift, Moving Traditions trains professionals who work with Jewish teens at camp and elsewhere about how to create healthy culture around gender, boundaries, and consent, and more.
UJA PROGRAM
The Curriculum Writer will research and develop curriculum for Moving Traditions’ Parent Pilot Program. The pilot will consist of six curricular sessions designed to more deeply support parents of Jewish teens in their role as part of the ecosystem of support for teens. We will be piloting a direct model of parental engagement.
