The Director, Program & Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Design will operate as a consultant and capacity-builder working alongside the coaching and alumni teams to ensure that all corps members and alumni-facing programming reflects the leadership and identity development priorities of each team and aligned to our organization’s Foundations. The Director, Program and DEI Design’s work will be reflected in two critical ways. The first is to ensure that for all corps member programming from onboarding, institute, and their corps commitment, they have access to quality pedagogical and instructional. This will also include supporting the Managing Directors of Institute and CM Development with executing against their vision for the respective bodies of work they will directly manage. The second will be the designing of DEI-related programming for corps members and alums. This may take the form of cultural competence sessions, alumni-programming aligned to DEI (i.e. social justice fellowship) and support other regional team members with DEI design projects that fall outside the scope of programming, as needed.
