Reclaim Childhood is recruiting an Executive Director
Reclaim Childhood (RC) is an American nonprofit 501(c)(3) organisation running after-school sports leagues, month-long summer camps and leadership programmes in Jordan. Our programmes target the most vulnerable girls and women in the community ages 6+, including at-risk Jordanians and refugees from Syria, Iraq, Palestine and Sudan.
RC’s mission is threefold: First, to provide a safe space where our participants can “Reclaim Childhood” and just be kids. Second, to connect communities that otherwise may not interact – host-community Jordanians, refugees from across the region, and US volunteers. Third, to empower and inspire our young women, by employing the positive impact of sport and play to teach the life lessons uniquely learned through athletics and by providing strong female role models as coaches from within the campers’ communities.
