Assistant House Director (Full-Time), HomeWorks Trenton - Phennd : Job Details

HomeWorks Trenton, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that runs a free, community-based, after school residential program for Black and Brown high school girls in Trenton, New Jersey. We provide a space where Black and Brown girls can authentically express themselves while developing academic and social-emotional tools to thrive despite living in a systemically unjust society.

Our scholars live in the HomeWorks house from Sunday evenings to Friday mornings and are transported to and from their Trenton Public Schools every day to ensure timeliness. After school, scholars engage in daily activities focused on academics and identity-driven leadership, eat a family-style meal, and stay overnight in our dorm with two full-time staff members. Our HomeWorks model decreases chronic absenteeism and improves scholars' academic performance and social-emotional skills while celebrating the power of Black and Brown sisterhood. By providing a space to explore and define their experiences, cultures, and identities, HomeWorks offers our scholars a chance to see that their ideas, visions, and presence are valid and relevant in this world.

The Assistant House Director will partner with the House Director and AmeriCorps Program Assistant/House-Sister(s) to co-lead the HomeWorks house and cultivate a culture around our values of intentionality, empathy, and community.

The Assistant House Director's goal is to co-create a culture around HomeWorks values and build a healthy and safe learning and living environment for our scholars. During the school year, the Assistant House Director will do this through working closely with the House and Admin team, as well as building relationships with scholars and parents. We will use tools like Asana, Google, and Slack to amplify the work.
