I am the executive director/co-founder of the Grant Me The Wisdom Foundation. http://www.grantmethewisdom.org. This website is out of date and doesn't show the 60+ documentary films that we have invested or written grants to or the new schools that we are funding but it will give you an idea of the focus we have on women and girls' education.

We have many projects going but are a very small very lean office and we all wear many hats. Currently I am looking for someone to create and curate content about women in the Bible for the lay person to use nationally and internationally because when I was a student at YDS from 2007-09 I couldn't find a credible list of women in the Bible or much information about these women. I want to change that.

I would like to hire someone, title TBD, to create a free website that is easy for a layperson to use. You will be given all of the equipment and support you need to in the creation of the website but you would be the one managing the website on a daily basis as well as all social media associated with the website.

You would need to live in Houston, 4th largest city in the country, and you would need to have a deep understanding of and ability to process feminist theology for the lay person. This website is not for the academic. Feminist theology must be your passion because you would be the expert in the office. You would have to be excellent at goal setting and achieving those goals. Working independently is a must. Being collaborative, clear communication, excellent writer and able to change directions on a project when necessary.

There would be several goals: ability to use the information to teach Bible studies in a church or other settings, a place to publish feminist work, provide links to other resources like https://eewc.com that are already available, curate videos that are already in the public domain of women preaching/teaching and updates on what is happening in the world with regards to women and the church.

This would be a fun-time job with all the normal benefits of health insurance, 401k, etc. Please send resumes to: Debbie@GMTW.org. You are welcome to pass this along to non-YDS grads but I wanted to give YDS grads the first opportunity to apply because I know how great an education you got! I will gladly respond to any emails with ideas or suggestions.
