Job Description
Youth Empowerment Program Director Full-time position- 40 hours a week
Founded in 2015, UA3 is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to enable all communities to share in society’s abundant resources. Every person has a right to healthy food and hope for the future. Through community-based self-help, civic activism, and leadership development, we create resource-sharing systems to link racially and culturally marginalized communities to food, education, health care and other essential services. Our work builds bridges within and across communities to foster cross-cultural engagement and cooperation. We empower vulnerable communities to meet their basic needs so they can survive and thrive. We carry out our mission through four major programmatic areas: The Community First Food Pantry, a Youth Empowerment Program, Educational workshops and candidate forums and a Multi-Social Service Navigation Program. We work closely with community partners throughout NYC through our network called ‘CBO100’.
