THREEWINGS EMPLOYMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
THREEWINGS is a youth-led non-profit organization that seeks to establish and sustain a vibrant cultural arts center for queer young people of Seattle. Through our primary campaign, Queer Youth Space, we have placed young people at the forefront of our movement and created an innovative model of constituent-led nonprofit organizing. While we tailor many resources and services to the needs of queer young people, we hope to move beyond vague concepts such as “empowerment” and “safe space” in order to train, hire, and galvanize the next generation of social justice leaders. We employ a comprehensive, three-pronged approach that was designed directly by queer youth:
WING 1 | CULTURAL ACTIVISM LAB creates queer peer support
networks and solidarity while providing a space where queer youth can
socialize, work, and create together.
WING 2 | WELLNESS COLLABORATIVE offers critical education and
referrals to health and wellness services in order to mitigate the health
disparities experienced by queer youth.
WING 3 | COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH AND EDUCATION works to change
the policies and cultural practices that hurt our community by building
leadership skills through research, education, and advocacy.
We are ecstatic to open applications for five part-time staff positions:
Program Coordinators (20 hours/week)
WING 1 l Coordinator of Cultural Activism
WING 2 l Coordinator of Wellness
WING 3 l Coordinator of Research & Education
Money Management Coordinators (7.5 hours/week)
Money Management l Coordinator of Fund Development
Money Management l Coordinator of Finances
With the addition of a committed staff team, we hope to expand our impact in the community. We invite all young people of all identities to apply. We especially encourage trans* youth, young people of color, and those who have experienced homelessness to apply for WING positions.
Please note, the deadline to apply for a WING position is July 30, 2012. The Money Management positions are open until filled. Information on how to apply can be found at the end of each section. Please direct any questions to jobs@queeryouthspace.com.
