At IREX we strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people and communities thrive.
But around the globe, persistent poverty, repression, and injustice prevent too many people form achieving their full potential. To address these problems, we focus on people, not on vaccines, roads, or wells. We support individuals and institutions to create change in their own communities—and to create person to person bridges between nations.
IREX works with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.
Ukraine National Identity through Youth (UNITY) is a seven-and-a-half-year, USAID-funded program that supports youth leadership towards a values-based Ukrainian identity. UNITY supports youth innovation and entrepreneurship, fosters active participation in decision-making processes and facilitates youth engagement in problem solving at the national and local levels. Through fostering an enabling environment and restoring access to formal and non-formal education, the program empowers young people to realize their dreams, ideas, and visions for Ukraine’s development. UNITY empowers youth to become a driving force for facilitating pluralism and respect for diversity.
The Coordinator will be primarily engaged in activities under UNITY’s Objective 3, Youth Drive Pluralism and Respect for Diversity. Objective 3 covers a wide range of topics, namely supporting youth in tolerance and diversity promotion, media literacy non-formal education, Ukrainian identity promotion and others. This role does not demand in-depth knowledge on these topics from the candidates, but if interested, there will be many opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills in these areas.
The Program Coordinator, reporting to the Social Cohesion Lead, will execute general administrative duties necessary for effective program implementation, including, but not limited to, organization of events and meetings, drafting agreements and processing payments, desk research and writing assignments, internal coordination, reporting, coordination of the communication with various stakeholders.
