**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.

The Program Coordinator will be an integral part of IREX’s Digital Citizenship Lab, which explores how online and offline experiences impact the way individuals engage with each other and with the communities, organizations, and institutions around them and use digital technologies to educate, inform, and convene. The DC Lab’s goal is to advance strong digital citizenship along four dimensions - robust digital rights, responsible digital engagement; protection from digital harms; and inclusive digital access, experiences, and leadership. The Program Coordinator will support the operations of the DC Lab by supporting research, the drafting of thought leadership and other publications, the planning and facilitation of internal and external events and activities, knowledge management, and more. The Program Coordinator will also support DC Lab procurement and day-to-day partner management.

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