Description
Education AssociateFull-Time, 35-40 hours/weekOccasional Sundays and evenings
Summary of Responsibilities: The role of the Education Associate is to use content expertise to plan and lead The Zekelman Holocaust Center’s guided tours as well as specialized educational workshops and programs. In so doing, an Education Associate helps the organization to achieve our mission to engage, educate, and empower our visitors by remembering the Holocaust, and to further our goal to be the nexus of Holocaust education in Michigan.
Who We Are: The Zekelman Holocaust Center (The HC) was founded by Michigan survivors in 1984 as a lasting memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. Our mission is to engage, educate, and empower through remembrance so that individuals and society will recognize, combat, and prevent antisemitism, discrimination, and hate-based violence. The Center teaches history’s darkest period to 100,000 visitors each year, including students and adults of all backgrounds. Our new permanent exhibit places Holocaust victim and survivor stories at the center, making extensive use of archival footage, images and video testimony. Artifacts include an authentic WWII-era boxcar and a sapling from the tree located outside Anne Frank’s hiding place window. The Center also invites the public to make use of its 20,000 volume Library Archive. Museum Educators and Docents provide customized tours, workshops and programs, empowering visitors to apply the lessons of the Holocaust to create a more compassionate world where people take responsible action.
We value candidates who are community-oriented and civic-minded, and who demonstrate a commitment to serving others.
Why Join Us: You will play a role in meaningful, mission-driven work. We offer strong work/life balance, a generous holiday schedule, 401(k) with employer match, and more.
