We seek qualified candidates from all backgrounds who believe in our mission and align with our values.

Work Environment
This position currently operates in a hybrid manner, but we require our staff to be available to work out of One World Education’s Washington, DC office and to attend local program and development events. Remote work requires logging onto your One World Education-issued computer during work hours, responding to emails, and participating in video calls and meetings throughout the day; therefore, access to high-speed, reliable internet is crucial. One World provides all required equipment and supplies to undertake the tasks of the job (laptop, monitors, and other accessories).
This job consists of regular work time beyond the normal workday several times a year. The position includes typical physical and mental demands that require prolonged sitting, eye-hand coordination, and manual dexterity sufficient to operate office equipment. Requires a range of hearing and eyesight to communicate with staff, stakeholders, and the Board. With a need to attend in-person programming and meetings (when healthy to do so), the position requires being in the Washington, DC area.
As the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to unfold, One World Education may adopt different operating practices in the future that could require more in-person work.
