About Us
The Journalism Refugees Education Fund (JREF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting journalists and media workers who have resettled in the U.S. and Canada due to threats related to their work. As global threats to press freedom rise, more journalists are forced to flee their home countries, leaving behind their careers and communities. JREF bridges a critical gap by providing educational opportunities that empower journalism refugees and their families to rebuild their lives and careers in their new homes.
Through scholarships and personalized support, JREF helps recipients pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees, certifications, English language programs and more.
We’re seeking an Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of our organization. This part-time role is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working remotely on a flexible schedule.
What You’ll Do
As Operations Manager, you’ll play a key role in ensuring the success of JREF’s operations and programs. Your responsibilities will include:
Scholarship Program Coordination
