LIBERAL ARTS TEACHER

$300 - $400 monthly

What will you do next year that will have significant ripple effects on the lifetime of an individual? A family? A community? A country? A culture? Prior to beginning studies at The Leadership Center, *Maria had been serving at a nonprofit for special needs children in Honduras. Her boss at the NGO noticed the leadership potential she possessed and recommended Maria as an applicant to our 2014 cohort. She was accepted into the program and worked diligently in all her classes, grew exponentially in her relationships with peers and mentors, and her confidence and self-esteem blossomed. Since graduating in September 2016, Maria has ben invited back to her previous organization and is now employed as the In-Country Director! The English language, leadership, and business management skills Maria learned while at The Leadership Center prepared her for her new role. Now she is able to invest in the lives of underprivileged and special needs children in her community. “Being at TLC has helped me see things differently; I’m less afraid of public speaking and am comfortable sharing my ideas and speaking up. With the support and encouragement of the people I have known at The Leadership Center, I’ve realized that I can do many things and can make changes in my community.” *Name has been changed for privacy ABOUT THE LEADERSHIP CENTER Honduras is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere with 65% of the population living below the poverty line. Education is not readily accessible. However, research has demonstrated that one of the fastest ways to alleviate poverty is through education—especially through educating women. Worldwide, every year of secondary school and beyond boosts women’s wages by an average of 20%. When women are educated and earning their own income, they reinvest in their families and communities. Economies change. e things differently; I’m less afraid of public speaking and am comfortable sharing my ideas and speaking up. With the support and encouragement of the people I have known at The Leadership Center, I’ve realized that I can do many things and make a change in my community. e things differently; I’m less afraid of public speaking and am comfortable sharing my ideas and speaking up. With the support and encouragement of the people I have known at The Leadership Center, I’ve realized that I can do many things and make a change in my community. Leadership Mission International has a laser focus: educate classes of 12-15 young women each year over the course of three years so that they will return to their communities as leaders, reinvest in their local economies, and initiate economic and ethical progress in Honduras. The young women who are selected have already navigated significant challenges to complete high school. The Leadership Center grants students’ full scholarships so that upon graduation they may start their own businesses, become teachers, enroll in higher education, or work with nonprofit organizations focused on development. The young women come determined, motivated, inspired, and grateful. ...And they are a lot of fun! ABOUT THE POSITION This position begins in April of 2019.

Sometimes the electricity will go out. Sometimes the water will go out. For safety, the location is in a rural environment—far away from the big city. If you can go with the flow, improvise, and smile when things do not go as planned, you will help contribute to the positive atmosphere.

Campus Fellowship Coach

Position Overview Reporting to the CEO, the Campus Fellowship Coach will give leadership to 15 Christian Grads Fellowship groups from around the country. The role of Fellowship Coach is comprised of two primary responsibilities: first, pastoral care for individuals and second, coaching leaders toward organizational effectiveness and goal achievement. The position requires a high level of spiritual maturity and excellent communication skills. Key Responsibilities Connect regularly with student leaders and volunteers from 15 campus fellowships Provide spiritual insight, counseling and encouragement to leaders Align student leaders and volunteers with the mission and vision of The Christian Grads Fellowship Strategically plan out how to advance each fellowship to the next stage of growth. Compensation This is a supported position. The the salary for the fellowship coach will be raised by asking for financial support from family, friends and churches. Grad Resources will provide you with training in how to raise your financial support. The salary for this position will be dependent on how much is raised by the candidate If you currently work with a ministry and have a support based salary we have seen success in transitioning over support teams to Grad Resources. Background The Christian Grads Fellowship, a ministry of Grad Resources, is a network of Christian graduate community groups whose goal is to impact the academy as thoughtful and informed followers of Christ. The Christian Grads Fellowship practices a “catalytic model” of ministry. This model leverages online resources, local partnerships, and distance coaching of volunteers to serve campuses. Crucial to the model’s success are motivated and effective coaches. The coach is responsible for supporting the growth of existing fellowships and starting new campus groups. This individual serves as the main point of contact with student leaders, providing pastoral care, training, and ministry supervision. The coach relies heavily on remote tools (phone, Skype, email) with occasional in person visits. Profile The ideal candidate must be aligned with the mission and values of Grad Resources( www.GradResources.org ) and The Christian Grads Fellowship( www.ChristianGrads.org ). The ideal candidate should exhibit the following characteristics: 1. Expertise in campus ministries The coach must possess cultural fluency within the university and be able to lead a ministry within that context. The following is a non-exhaustive sample of some mission critical activities for the coach: Anticipate the needs of a particular campus fellowship and inject guidance accordingly Identify, recruit, and motivate student leaders Pastor a student through the typical spiritual, emotional, and academic challenges of grad life Quickly assess a campus for its potential for a grad fellowship 2. Entrepreneurial skills and spirit The coach must operate as if they were constantly starting new ventures. The Christian Grads Fellowship seeks to expand significantly in the near future on to new campuses; even maintaining existing fellowships requires steady entrepreneurial energy because so many students graduate each year. 3. Ability to track multiple entities You will be responsible for tracking 15 campus fellowships, each at varying stages of development. Each fellowship will involve tracking multiple contact points (student leaders, students, faculty sponsors, administration, etc.). The individual must have the ability to oversee this diversity, track the next action step for each fellowship/student leader, and document progress for management. 4. Gifted in persuasion In distance coaching, the coach possesses almost no formal authority over students or any other kind of leverage. Persuasion is the primary tool. Coaches must be able to start with the varying motivations and values of students and creatively align them with the mission of the organization. Candidates must be able to relationally connect from a distance and develop rapport that demonstrates the value of a continuing relationship. Coaches will be asked to direct students to the CGF approved curriculum. Qualifications Vibrant personal relationship with God and an active member of a Bible based church University, church or other ministry experience Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience (graduate degree a plus) Demonstrated excellence in organizational and managerial skills Excellent oral and written communication skills
