Who We Are

IREX is a global development and education organization. We strive for a more just, prosperous, and inclusive world—where individuals reach their full potential, governments serve their people, and communities thrive. With a projected annual portfolio of more than $150 million and more than 750 staff worldwide, we work with partners in more than 100 countries in four areas essential to progress: cultivating leaders, empowering youth, strengthening institutions, and increasing access to quality education and information.

Learn to Discern in Education (L2D-Ed) is implemented by IREX and aims to strengthen Ukrainian teachers' and students' resilience to disinformation and manipulation by enhancing their critical information engagement skills, and to create demand for high-quality information in the Ukrainian secondary education system at large. The project involves developing and training teachers with educational media literacy materials, conducting research, and delivering training for other target audiences.

The role involves organizing and conducting training sessions, contributing to the development of educational materials, and ensuring effective communication and collaboration across the project. This position requires experience in education, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work effectively with diverse audiences.

We are doers. Our decades of on-the-ground experience help us create greater impact, practical recommendations, and lasting partnerships.
