Chicago Community Coordinator

Honeymoon Israel is seeking a part-time professional for the role of Chicago Community Coordinator to play a critical role as it grows its operations and impact.

Community Coordinators are locally-focused HMI staff based in cities where HMI operates across North America. In many cases, the Community Coordinator is the only HMI-employed staff in a given community.

Community Coordinators are connectors, facilitators, conveners, and supporters in providing couples with a platform that helps them determine ways in which they want to incorporate Judaism into their lives. While the HMI experience for many couples begins with a group trip to Israel, the trip serves as a catalyst and much of the work to support participants in this journey happens when couples return home.

• You are committed to Jewish life, understanding that connection to Judaism can take many forms, and are excited about the impact that transformational experiences can have on one’s identity and future
• You have an understanding of and appreciation for HMI’s target audience of young couples representing diverse Jewish backgrounds and affiliations
• You have a passion for and/or background in community organizing, community building, and creating unique and meaningful experiences for diverse groups of people
• You are flexible, nimble, and adaptable as it relates to your work
• You have knowledge of Jewish culture, heritage, and practice, and are adept at including folks from all different backgrounds and life experiences
• You are energetic and social
• You have strong communication skills - both verbally and written
• You are a skilled project manager with attention to detail who can manage and juggle multiple projects
• You are familiar and comfortable with your local Jewish community landscape
