• Create a holistic approach to developing an ethos of community service and social justice that reaches all of our constituencies

• Identify new opportunities to infuse social impact work across “departments” (ex: Jewish Learning Lab, Early Childhood Center, etc.) and volunteer cohorts

2. Generate enthusiasm for Tikkun Olam among the congregation of WRT

• Deepen personal outreach methods to members of our community, to engage them in social impact programming

4. Build relationships and partnerships with local agencies, non-profits, fellow houses of worship, and coalitions to understand needs in Westchester, New York State and nationally and ascertain where WRT efforts can be the most helpful

5. Promote WRT’s many forms of congregational, local, and global engagement that produce social impact

• Coordinate with WRT’s Clergy and communications team to promote and highlight the breadth of programming in this area to our community

6. Design and develop new and creative initiatives to keep Tikkun Olam at the forefront of WRT’s engagement efforts

The measures of success for the Director of Social Impact and Community Engagement will
include the following:
1. An active cohort of congregational volunteers coordinated to help lead and recruit congregant participation in this effort

2. Congregants - adults and children alike - come to regard WRT as “a place where I learned that I have the power, with my heart and my hands, to change the world”

3. WRT emerges as a leading voice for social justice, and a role model for how a Reform Jewish congregation engages its community through Tikkun Olam

The Director of Social Impact and Community Engagement will report to the Senior Rabbi and Executive Director and will work closely with clergy, professional staff and volunteers on the design and implementation of social impact programming at WRT, both those which are already ongoing, and those which will be newly created. The Director of Social Impact and Community Engagement will work to create new meaningful opportunities to enhance and strengthen social impact work at WRT.
