Job Description: Program Associate – EL Build About Enabling Leadership We have a mission to change the world and we’re looking for like-minded individuals to join us! At Enabling Leadership, we believe that creating a different generation of “leaders” is the solution to most of the complex global challenges we face today. Our unique programs, “EL - Create” (music), “EL - Play” (football) and EL- Build (Lego) are designed to equip children, especially those who are economically and educationally marginalized, to rewrite the definition of being “successful”. It is essential to redefine this in terms of people who take responsibility for their own individual, and our shared, combined futures. Our young “leaders” demonstrate and embody these values, principles, behaviors, choices and actions, recognizing that in order for me to win, everyone must win. Every child can, and should be a leader – a role model, a global citizen and a positive contributor – it is critical for every individual to be this kind of a leader, and not just a handful of people. Now, more than ever, children need to recognize that we live in a shared world and we must learn to collaborate, think creatively and inspire positive action.

Our staff design and manage their own schedules, choose where to work from (no cubicles!), and have a dynamic leadership team to work with. Our priority is to develop passionate, responsible, creative and accountable employees, championing our values in today’s world. EL - Build Program Build uses the pedagogy of play to enable children to create a world of their imagination and open up possibilities. Through the program which embeds the principle of positive play, students look at their home, community, school, village, city, country, and the world at large, with a new eye and work collectively, towards finding solutions for problems they encounter. As students become more aware of themselves and their surroundings, they use their exhibition opportunities to show us the world they want to be a part of, setting an example for us to follow and leading from the front.
