We are looking for a passionate and driven individual who believes in the mission of the organization, would like to help GLN grow and expand, and is looking to grow both personally and professionally in the process.

The GLN Program Coordinator coordinates our main program - our language classes, which consists of coordinating our Teaching Fellowship (our teacher development program), coordinating our internship program, managing interns and volunteers, and coordinating the logistical aspect of our language classes (scheduling, coordination with teachers and partners, class registration, etc).

• Maintain GLN's partnerships which includes interacting with partner organizations on a regular basis and coordinating logistics when it comes to class hosting
• Provide support to and assist GLN's Executive Director and organizational leadership with daily operations as necessary
