Youth Program Associate – Ma3an Program Retour vers les opportunités

Location: Tunisia

Group/Practice/Unit: Youth Leadership Practice

Who We Are:

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.

IREX seeks a dynamic Youth Program Associate to support community youth engagement programming across Tunisia, as part of the Ma3an Program, and assist with all financial and administrative aspects of the program. The position will be part of a broader team engaging youth who drive community activities in their communities. The Youth Program Associate reports to the Youth Program Officer and coordinates closely with IREX Program and Finance staff in Tunisia.

Alumni of US leadership programs are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are doers. Our decades of on-the-ground experience help us create greater impact, practical recommendations, and lasting partnerships.
