We’re Recruiting!

Center DC Board

We’re currently searching for dedicated community members to help us lead Center DC into the next phase of our growth. Board members are heavily involved in strategic planning, support leadership in decision-making, draft policy, and spearhead our fundraising and development efforts. We are currently recruiting board members with skills around the following areas (in order of priority!):

  • Donor Cultivation

  • Financial Management

  • Branding/Base Analysis + Communications

  • HR/Team Development

  • Organizational Development / Strategic Growth

  • Policy and Legal Committee

This is a one year commitment, with the option to renew. Download the full description HERE. Interested candidates should submit a resume and statement of interest - specifying why you are interested in becoming a steward of this organization and what specific skills/experience/role you are eager to fulfill - to ryan@centerdc.org by close of business 5/1/24. 

Applications will be reviewed and a group interview will be scheduled for those advancing forward, where we’ll review our strategic plan and answer questions. Invitations will be made within a week of the group interview. We hope to onboard 1-3 new members by the beginning of June 2024. 

Center DC has a dedicated group of specialized volunteers who serve on our accountability team. When an issue arrises between community members, these professionals support our safe(r) space process, with the goal of addressing harm and conflict, holding people accountable to one another, and keeping folks in community when at all possible. This team also plans proactive circles and gatherings to build community and address larger issues that emerge and impact our ability to be in ‘right relationship’ with one another.

We are currently looking to onboard 3-4 new members who have experience in:

  • mental health

  • victims advocacy

  • mediation + conflict resolution

  • restorative justice facilitation

Folks who are the best fit for this role are community-adjacent (i.e. not deeply involved and super socially connected within the Center DC ecosystem). Not knowing everyone in community is a benefit here! If you attend multiple events each week, you’re likely too close to the community to serve in this way!

You can view the full job description HERE. This is a one year commitment, with the option to renew. Interested candidates should submit a resume and statement of interest to saferspace@centerdc.org with “Joining the Safe(r)Space Team” as the subject line. Applications will be reviewed and an interview will be scheduled for those advancing forward, where we’ll review our process and answer questions. We hope to onboard 3-4 new members this year, inshaAllah!

DC Iftar League Hosts

Every year, we recruit 7+ volunteers to host a weekly iftar and open it up to others to join - gatherings can be hosted at your home, at a local masjid, in the park, or at a restaurant! All you have to do is pick a day of the week to commit to, and communicate details with your people weekly via a Center DC WhatsApp group that you’ll manage for the month. Sign up to host:
