Director, LEAH Project

4 days ago

Boston, United States EPIP Full time

Over the past 18 years, the LEAH Project has created pathways for access to STEM learning, college, and careers for over 600 high school and 7,000 elementary school students in the Boston area. Participating high school students have access to a variety of STEM internship opportunities including LEAH’s signature STEM teaching internships, in which participants educate elementary school students in local afterschool programs, and the summertime LEAH Knox Biomedical Research and Data Science and STEM Exploration internships. Students also have access to College Readiness Programming, STEM events and STEM related mentorship. The LEAH Project was inspired by and founded in memory of Leah Deni, a youth worker with a passion for science whose legacy lives on in the program’s work. Originally housed at the Boston Public Schools, LEAH transitioned to become a program of HRiA in 2013.

With an emphasis on community engagement and commitment to health and racial equity, HRiA has earned a national reputation as a leader in the fields of public health and social change. HRiA’s work recognizes how structural racism and social and economic factors impact health outcomes. The organization’s health equity framework centers racial equity and guides its work with communities, partners, and clients as well as its internal policies and processes. HRiA’s core services comprise five clusters: capacity building assistance (CBA), grantmaking for biomedical research and community health, research and evaluation, health and racial equity, and public health services. Within the CBA cluster, the work spans a wide range of training, technical assistance, and planning services. Together, HRiA’s CBA services help people, organizations, and communities build the competencies, infrastructure, and resources necessary to improve public health and achieve health and racial equity. As part of its CBA cluster, and drawing on deep expertise in youth development, HRiA manages and implements the LEAH Project.

ABOUT THE POSITION

The LEAH Project’s mission is to promote the power of youth, especially Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) youth, to diversify the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. Through paid internships, dynamic college and career readiness programming, and meaningful youth leadership opportunities, LEAH cultivates the confidence of youth and equips them with the skills and connections they need to thrive. The LEAH Project is a program of Health Resources in Action (HRiA), a non-profit public health organization with a mission to help people live healthier lives and create healthy communities through prevention, health promotion, policy, and research.

Reporting to the Managing Director of HRiA’s Training and Capacity Building Department, the new Director for the LEAH Project will lead a committed team of five permanent staff, two full-time fellows, and a grant-writing consultant in designing, delivering, and fundraising to support a range of youth development programs and partnerships, creating pathways to STEM education and employment for Boston-area high schoolers and reaching over 100 young people each year. The Director will manage an annual budget of approximately $1.6M and collaborate with a non-governing Advisory Board that supports the program’s success through amplifying partnerships and providing strategic consultation.
