Program Officer, US Programs- Racial Justice Initiative
Ford Foundation 4.9
New York, NY jobs
The Ford Foundation's US Programs seek a fixed-term Program Officer to coordinate the Racial Justice Initiative. Now in its fourth year, the five-year Racial Justice Initiative is a cross-program grantmaking and learning initiative that aims to address the crisis of rapidly accelerating regression on racial justice. This initiative aims to advance racial justice and equity through support of efforts to 1) defend against rollbacks to racial equity programs and civil rights protections using policy, legal, communications and narrative approaches, and 2) foster cross-identity solidarity, community building, and belonging in the furtherance of racial justice.
The Program Officer role was intentionally designed as a cross-programmatic role, in which the Program Officer will develop strategy and grant recommendation in partnership with a working group of other program staff representing each of Ford's US Program portfolios, in the interest of ensuring that racial justice is mainstreamed as a commonly held concern rather than confined to a single portfolio. Therefore, this position will sit within the Office of the Vice President for US Programs and report to the Director of the Office, with a dotted line to the Director of Ford's Gender, Racial, and Ethnic Justice (GREJ)-US program.

In addition, the program officer will manage external relationships, track needs and opportunities in the racial justice field and support convenings with grantee-, funder and government partners.
Key responsibilities will include the following and/or similar activities:
Contribute to the ongoing definition and development of the foundation's US Racial Justice Initiative and strategy to scale impact.
Engage with grantees to review opportunities, challenges and advances and encourage collaboration, learning, exchange, and strategic partnerships.
Manage, monitor and coordinate a grants portfolio, including: long-term grant planning; identifying and working with prospective grantees to develop proposals for grant recommendations (including helping determine the goals for a grant, its activities, expected results, indicators of success and budget); conducting organizational assessments; undertaking periodic reviews of progress with grantees; and reviewing financial and narrative reports.
Work closely with other funders and with donor collaboratives to encourage philanthropic contributions and align giving to the racial justice field.
Manage and create strategic learning opportunities to both sustain and deepen US Program's staff's understanding of what it means to embed a racial justice analysis and approach across issues and identities.
Foster a culture of learning - including learning and evaluation activities to guide the evolution of programmatic work - seeking to continually ask hard questions, gather independent and rigorous data and evidence about effectiveness of the Foundation and grantees' strategies, and help adapt practice as needed. Serve as an accessible resource for the field accordingly.
Represent the Foundation and its work in key venues through participation in relevant meetings, public speaking, writing, speeches, briefings, blog posts, and interviews.
Work closely with a grantmaking team of Grants Manager to manage all aspects of grants processing and compliance.
Contribute to the thinking and work of colleagues across the Foundation and the field of grant seekers and philanthropic peers overall.

About the Program
The Home For Little Wanderers is seeking a Milieu Director at their Roxbury Crossing location. The Milieu Director will provide supervision to Residential Supervisors and Residential Counselors. They will oversee and manage all aspects of therapeutic milieu programming
The Collaborative, a program of The Home provides community-based wrap-around services designed to keep youth at home with their primary caregiver and has a long and short-term out-of-home treatment component.
It is located in a brand new, state of the art facility overlooking the Boston skyline in the Roxbury Crossing neighborhood of Boston. The primary goal of the Collaborative is to support families to remain together, or return to being together as soon as clinically possible, by providing wraparound services a family needs to be successful in this goal. We provide intensive community based in-home treatment to help families remain together, rebuild connections that have been broken, and provide a unique group home treatment environment for clients not able to remain in their homes. The Collaborative offers continuity by maintaining the same treatment team across group home and home based levels of care, intensity of services matching the level of need, and focus on returning and keeping kids at home with their families.
What kind of clinical environment do we operate in? First and foremost, we offer a highly supportive, well resourced, and flexible approach to care. Weekly supervision, multidisciplinary teams, and intensive clinical training support not only the best possible outcomes for our families, but a work environment where the collective wisdom and approaches of all the supporting disciplines lead to amazing outcomes for kids and families. Our multi-disciplinary team includes occupational therapists, peer specialists, outreach workers, milieu staff, nurses, psychiatrists, clinicians and administrators, and offers many opportunities for connection, collaboration, growth and a collegial atmosphere.
We are committed to trauma-informed care that centers the voices of youth and families.
