THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a self-directed, energetic, civically-minded individual who wants to apply their curriculum design, adult learning, and facilitation skills to building organizational capacity in the public sector.

LOCATION
You will work out of our sunny San Francisco office on the top floor of Impact Hub San Francisco, a co-working space for impact-driven entrepreneurs located in the Mission District, one block from 16th Street BART station.
