A Faith That Does Justice

The Community Partnerships Coordinator will play a pivotal role in developing and nurturing relationships with like-minded organizations that align with A Faith That Does Justice's mission to challenge individuals to live their faith intentionally by addressing social injustices and supporting marginalized communities. This role is critical for expanding our impact, building alliances, and driving collaborative efforts to tackle systemic injustices in the community.

Key Responsibilities

• Partnership Development: Identify, approach, and establish partnerships with organizations that share our mission.

A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Our vision is people intentionally living their faith in action. Our programs fall under our two key strategic areas of focus:

1. Acting to help those in need with a particular emphasis on immigrant populations.
2. Showing how unjust systems marginalize people and encouraging our followers to put their faiths into action to address injustice.

Our Programs Include:

Fireside Chats: We explore issues of current social justice interest.

The Weekly Word: A weekly email that gives voice to different faith leaders across the country who discuss social justice issues from a faith perspective that reaches more than 4,000 people.

English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program: We provide free virtual and in-person instruction for English language learners in greater Boston in collaboration with Jewish Vocational Service (JVS), which has established the standard in Boston for these learning experiences. From 2018 through the end of 2023, we enrolled more than 600 students in the program.

Grab & Go meal program: A food preparation and distribution program for people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity in downtown Boston.

Spanish Mass: A gathering for the Spanish-speaking community for mass and dinner for immigrants who do not speak English.

Newsletter: Includes a weekly spiritual reflection by qualified theologians as well as social justice and event news circulated weekly by email to more than 4,000 followers.

Continual learning opportunities: Virtual connection to our subscribers, including increased use of "live" and pre-recorded videos on social media.
