Job description
The Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County is recruiting Community Connectors: Jewish joy spreaders and relationship-builders who can't help but invite someone along and make others feel they belong. Each Connector builds a micro-community around a shared identity or interest (such as young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, grandparents or Jewish learning) and turns everyday conversations into lasting relationships and deeper connection to Jewish life. This is a one-year contract role, renewable based on program needs and mutual agreement.
Responsibilities:
• Build genuine relationships within your micro-community, welcome newcomers, and follow up to keep them connected
• Make warm introductions to other people, programs and resources
• Host or invite people to gatherings and Jewish experiences, from Shabbat dinners and holiday celebrations to coffee dates and happy hours
• Deliver a monthly Shalom Neighbor experience
• Keep people connected through Federation WhatsApp groups and social media
• Document relationships and engagement in Federation-approved systems
**Commitments:**
• Four relationships a month (two new, two continuing)
• 12 meet-ups or experiences per year
• One Shalom Neighbor experience per month
• Weekly activity reports and monthly check-ins with the Community Connections Engagement Officer
Compensation:
$6,000 a year, paid at $500 per month, subject to completing the deliverables and reporting.
Connectors receive ongoing coaching, Jewish learning and training, and a cohort of fellow Connectors to learn and grow with.
