Subject: [GSG supporters] Seeking a Community & Mentor Manager for Gaza Sky Geeks! (volunteer business continuity team)

Hi GSG supporters,

We're seeking a new Community & Mentor Engagement Manager for the Gaza Sky Geeks startup accelerator!  The full announcement is here. Could you please share it with your networks by forwarding this email or posting on social media (suggested messaging below)?

This is an unpaid internship/fellowship: a solid 10 hours per week for 6 months. We're seeking a young, go-getter professional who already has strong work experience under their belt and wants to experience more of the startup space.

This role is a *fantastic* opportunity to:
  • Learn how a startup accelerator works. As a member of the GSG team, you'll get an inside look.
  • Network with startup professionals from around the globe, especially the US, MENA, and Europe.
  • Grow your community engagement & startup skills. Learn the skills of a community manager... and learn a ton about startups through the people you engage with!
  • Build something amazing. GSG is a startup in its own right: we're designing the first ever accelerator in Gaza. You'll get to lead this area of work & shape it, leaving lasting impact.

Since last October, this role has been filled by our wonderful Justin! Justin joined us during the crowdfunding campaign and contributed a TON to our strategy then and beyond. Justin may need to transition to a smaller role in the next month if he picks up a new exciting job he's aiming for, which is why we are seeking a new fellow/intern. Justin will stick around to hand over the responsibilities (and keep sharing ideas & possibly even some of the work, because it's hard not to get addicted to GSG :)  Thank you, Justin, for everything you have brought to GSG for the past 9 months!

Thanks, as always, for all your support!

Best,
Iliana
