Bard Prison Initiative/Microcollege

Program Coordinator for the Bard Microcollege for Just Community Leadership

Employer Website: http://apply.interfolio.com/97609
Bard College seeks a full-time Program Coordinator for the Bard Microcollege for Just Community Leadership in New York City. This is a full-time, exempt, 12 month per year position. The successful candidate will excel at working in a community that is broadly diverse with regard to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, nationality, sexual orientation, and religion. This position is fully benefits-eligible through Bard College. Staff benefits include health insurance with prescription, vision, dental and a retirement plan.  A private institution serving the public interest, Bard College is committed to critical inquiry, civic engagement, and the expansion of educational access. 

This newest Bard Microcollege launched in 2021 and enrolls students of all ages who have been directly impacted by the criminal justice system, as well as those aspiring to careers in advocacy, community building or social justice. It is a partnership among JustLeadershipUSA, College & Community Fellowship, and the Bard Prison Initiative, organizations that put education and community-based advocacy at the core of criminal justice reform. 

This position ensures smooth operation of microcollege programs and events, maintenance of academic data and records, and effective internal communication. Priority will be given to candidates who are formerly incarcerated or justice impacted and who are interested in helping to create and sustain academic community among justice impacted students, faculty, and staff, as well as contributing to the focus on liberal arts education as a foundation for advocacy. 

Microcollege operations will include some remote and some in-person work when this position begins. When the campus returns to full-time in-person operations, this position will be entirely in person and located at Countee Cullen Library, 104 W 136th St.  Bard College has a vaccination requirement for students, faculty, and staff, including this position.
