Fields: indigenous, women, domestic violence, gender, outreach
Location: Saint Paul (Remote considered), Minnesota
About the Organization: MIWSAC is a tribal organization, originally founded in 2001 as the first tribal sexual assault coalition in the country. Since then, MIWSAC has grown into a national leader on cutting-edge responses to sexual violence, including sex trafficking, in Indian Country. We provide national technical assistance to tribal grantees through various grant programs at the Office on Violence Against Women and Office for Victims of Crime.
About the Position: The Program Coordinator is responsible for the coordination and delivery of national technical assistance and training to Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program (TSASP) grantees. This position develops training materials for grantees, performs site visits, attends federal events relevant to this grant, and provides ongoing support to grantees via phone, email, videoconference, and other methods as needed.
Ideally, the person hired will live and work in the Twin Cities metro area and be able to work out of the main MIWSAC office in St. Paul. However, remote candidates will be considered on a case-by-case basis. This position requires regular travel. Up to 60% of working time may be spent traveling in order to perform site visits, attend conferences, provide trainings, and complete other projects as needed.
