We seek a youth and engagement director to build and run programming for teens (grades 8-12) and young adults (20s-30s). Duties include running weekly teen programs, organizing social, learning, and service events, supervising part-time youth advisors, and cultivating an inclusive young adult community.

This is a hybrid position with some evening and weekend work. You will report to the executive director and collaborate with our rabbis and education team.

• 3+ years of experience in youth work or community engagement
• Knowledge of Jewish practice and holiday observance
• Ability to supervise staff and volunteers
• Background check clearance

• Experience in Modern Orthodox communities
• Skills in music, arts, or outdoor programming
• Experience with grant reporting

Court Street Shul is a Modern Orthodox congregation whose membership is overwhelmingly under forty — young professionals and young families, many of whom are affiliating with a synagogue for the first time. We run three Shabbat morning minyanim and a substantial Shabbat afternoon learning program.

That demographic brings real energy and real churn: a quarter of our membership turns over every few years as people move. Our programming is built for that rather than against it.
