Job o' the Day: United We Dream
By Lauren Forbes
Calling a Managing Director! As a national immigrant youth-led organization, United We Dream Network (UWD)’s mission is to achieve equal access to higher education for all people, regardless of immigration status. We aim to address the inequities and obstacles faced by immigrant youth and to develop a sustainable, grassroots movement led by immigrant youth, documented and undocumented, and children of immigrants. We use leadership development, organizing, policy advocacy, alliance building, training, and capacity-building to pursue our mission at the local, state, and national levels.
UWD’s mission is to build power through local, regional, and national convening and leadership development opportunities; to provide the tools and resources to immigrant youth leaders to organize and grow their movements at every level; to create meaningful alliances with other national immigrant and education rights organizations and ensure there is a voice for immigrant youth at the national level; to strengthen anchor organizations of UWD; and to support emerging groups and provide capacity where organizing is needed but nonexistent.
This position includes full benefits as provided by the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), the fiscal sponsor for UWD. The Managing Director will be an employee of NILC working for UWD. Organization policies and benefits packages are subject to change during annual open enrollment at NILC and/or when this position transitions 
to employment directly by UWD.
The position is expected to be based in the Washington, DC, area. However, the location may change depending on outcomes of upcoming UWD strategic planning processes.
