Summary:

Global Give Back Circle is seeking a dedicated and experienced Curriculum Expert to join our team. The Curriculum Expert will be responsible for designing, developing, and refining educational programs and materials that align with HER Lab’s mission to empower women on a pathway to dignified and meaningful work. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in curriculum development, a passion for education, and a commitment to promoting gender equality through best in class curriculum.

About the Project 

Through scale-up of the Global Give Back Circle HER Lab model, Global Give Back Circle will deliver programming designed to increase participation in dignified and fulfilling work for young women in rural Kenya. 

It is more than a project focused on the economic empowerment, skills development, and poverty alleviation of Kenya’s most marginalized adolescent girls and young women through workforce success and entrepreneurship.  It addresses a holistic approach to HER journey to dignified and fulfilling work and does so by positioning her as a catalyst for the economic empowerment of an entire community.  It teaches her how to be the best version of her own story, but also guides her on how to use the power of her storytelling voice for bold advocacy and policy influencing.  It nurtures her leadership strengths by heightening her self-awareness.  She explores the attributes of her role model mentor and identifies the strong, empowered woman within her.   

This project contains interventions that target marginalized and rural adolescent girls and young women from across the educational spectrum, including recent secondary graduates and young women who have fallen through the cracks of the education system. This project supports a robust Theory of Change, through critical technical pathways, activities, and outcomes.
