HIGH HOLIDAY LOGISTICS CO-COORDINATOR 

We are looking for someone with strong organizational skills and a desire to help make high holidays at DC Minyan run as smoothly as possible to assist our current High Holiday Coordinator. This position will include assisting with room setup and supplies for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. Please email the Steering Committee at sc@dcminyan.org if you are interested.

PARENTS AND KIDS COORDINATOR AND LEADERSHIP COUNCIL POSITION

DC Minyan leadership is looking for someone to coordinate and create programming for the ever-growing population of children in our community. The Parents and Kids Coordinator will be responsible for managing existing programming such as Tot Shabbat and holiday programming, specifically focused on the High Holidays and Shavuot, and will have ideas for how the community can continue to provide educational and fun opportunities for a wide age-range of children. This person will also hold a spot on the Leadership Council and will participate in larger decisions pertaining to DC Minyan.

DC Minyan's Leadership Council (LC), comprised of current and immediate past Steering Committee members as well as the chairs of DC Minyan committees, serves a critical role in the day-to-day operations of DC Minyan. The LC shapes the vision of DC Minyan and approves DC Minyan's annual operating budget, meeting regularly to discuss programs, holidays, and big-picture topics affecting the community. As a member of the LC, the Parents and Kids Coordinator serves as a public face of DC Minyan through regular attendance at DC Minyan events, helps foster a sense of community by reaching out to new people and, of course, helps integrate kids and parents initiatives into DC Minyan. If you are interested or would like to learn more about the position, please contact the Steering Committee at sc@dcminyan.org.
