General Coordinator/FRIDA | Young Feminist Fund
Location flexible, to be negotiated with successful candidate
Do you believe in the power of young feminists to change the world? FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund is in search of a young talented leader to take it to the next stage of its organizational growth.
Overview: FRIDA | The Young Feminist Fund is a young feminist-led initiative that funds and strengthens the participation and leadership of young feminist activists globally. FRIDA was created to bring new resources and new opportunities to young women and transgender youth globally. We believe that supporting young feminists is key to the expansion, rejuvenation and sustainability of women's movements and organizations, both now and in the future. Launched in 2011, with support from AWID and the Central American Women's Fund, FRIDA has mobilized nearly $270,000 and provided 16 grants in its first participatory round of grant-making to youth-led initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean, The Middle East, Africa, Asia & Pacific and Eastern Europe and Central Asia. This dynamic leadership position provides an excellent opportunity to lead this new initiative into the next stage of its evolution from initiative to full women's fund.
Responsibilities: The General Coordinator is a full time position responsible for providing strategic leadership for all of FRIDA's core functions: grantmaking, resource-mobilization, communication, capacity-building, networking and alliance-building, as well as for developing FRIDA's internal operating systems. Given FRIDA's rapid change and growth, the Coordinator role is also likely to grow and change in the years ahead. The General Coordinator will work with AWID and Central American Women's Fund as well as FRIDA's established network of Advisors to shape the Fund's next phase of growth, including important decisions on FRIDA's structure and institutional location.
