The Women’s Student Activist Collective Is Looking for part time staff member 10-20 hours a week!
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Women’s Student Activist Collective (WSAC) is looking for a part time staff member to work as a part time administrator and group facilitator.
The WSAC ‘s mission is to empower women and transgendered people on campus to effect positive change in society. Our group is run in a non-hierarchal manner and we make decisions together as a collective by consensus. WSAC have temporary “chairs� where responsibilities rotate between collective members, and in that way we still have a structure to work within.
The WSAC is looking for a person who’s passionate about the diversity of women’s issues as well as interrelated issues concerning social justice like race, class, GLBTA issues, the environment, reproductive rights, human rights and religion. As a staff member you mainly have an administrative responsibility where your workday will entail activities such as: keeping the WSAC office open during your office hours, sending out announcements on our list-serve, replying and following up requests through e-mails and/or phone calls, paying bills, preparing our annual Student Fee’s Proposal to obtain our annual funding etc.
You will sometimes also be part of planning events and projects and work as an advisor for the group. In short, you will work as the “hub� of the group.
A possible idea is to split the 20 hour a week position into two 10 hour a week positions, but this will be up to the applicants and the group to decide what would be most appropriate.
Compensation: $14/hour
WORK AND EDUCATION EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS
At least 1 year of work experience and/or academic studies that relate to women’s issues
Please send any questions, your letter of interest as well as your resume to Mia Ljung at wsac@umn.edu before Friday April 18, 2008
We will schedule an informational meeting for applicants in the week of April 21- 25, so please let us know your preference on time and date that week.
