I was able to start JDub because I won the Jewish lottery. That was how we used to refer to recipients of the Joshua Venture Fellowship, a 2 year program/grant for “Jewish social entrepreneurs” that provided 16 of us with over $60,000 in seed funding, retreats, technical support, and organizational consultants. Joshua Venture’s support of JDub, Heeb, Keshet, Just Vision, Storahtelling, JPEF, Sharsheret, and The Hub brought these organizations to life. In JDub’s case, JV not only provided these vital resources, but also the validation we needed to bring other supporters to the table. Without JV, we would not exist. Now, after 4 dormant years, JV is back and hiring!
The Program and Administrative Associate will be a critical member of Joshua Venture’s small team and work under the supervision of the Executive Director, Lisa Lepson. The ideal candidate will manage administrative duties while taking on greater roles in program planning, meeting and retreat coordination, and stakeholder communications. Because Joshua Venture is in an early stage of development, there will be great opportunity for responsibility, impact, and learning.
