CHANGE (City Hub and Network for Gender Equity) is a world-first, dedicated and progressive collective of global cities focused on achieving true gender equality in member cities. Through the leadership of the six co-founding cities – Barcelona, Freetown, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Tokyo – CHANGE has the power to harness the commitment to gender equality already found within these cities and to make an even greater difference to the 35 million people who live within them. Mayors and local governments around the world have great power to improve the lives of those with marginalized gender identities, such as providing more equitable public safety, educational opportunities, and equal pay initiatives. The success of international city networks on climate change, migration, and economic development highlights the role that networks like CHANGE can play in modeling positive policy change.
The Data Management Coordinator will play a critical role in developing CHANGE’s internal processes and systems for member-city data collection and reporting. The Coordinator will be tasked with managing the development of publicly-facing products and learning resources; including a city-focused gender data toolkit and an interactive web application linking quantitative data trends to qualitative data stories. Additionally, the Coordinator will oversee CHANGE’s data working group as the founding cities pilot an innovative index of gender equity indicators.
This position is for someone looking for a dynamic, exciting work environment and with a deep commitment to tackling inclusive gender equity. CHANGE offers an opportunity to work directly with city leaders around the world to create innovative systems to measure and track progress toward gender equity at the city level.

The position will work closely with the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Office of International Affairs and the Mayor’s Gender Equity team, as well as the executive offices of the six other cities of CHANGE and future city members.

Expanded learning refers to educational support systems as well as enrichment and recreational opportunities for young people and their families during non-school hours.
Los Angeles has a rich, diverse community of organizations that provide transformative learning and enrichment experiences for children and youth outside of the school day. In January 2020, the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti (Mayor’s Office) and the Fund launched a program to bring together an array of youth-serving organizations and OST providers throughout the area. In response to a strong, long-standing desire for coordination, collaboration, and advocacy in the out-of-school enrichment space—and with input from a diverse group of community leaders serving on a task force, advisory council, and focus groups composed of key stakeholders—the Mayor’s Office and the Fund are incubating an OST enrichment intermediary organization, ExpandLA, that will support and strengthen the expanded learning ecosystem in Los Angeles to provide equitable access to high-quality OST educational and enrichment opportunities.
Access to out-of-school education and enrichment opportunities is critically important to advance educational equity. The priorities at the heart of this new inclusive initiative are access, equity, cultural and community connection, and racial and social justice. The ExpandLA initiative aims to create an equitable system of access to expanded learning programs for children and youth in Greater Los Angeles to activate their limitless potential. By supporting, connecting, and advocating for expanded learning organizations, ExpandLA seeks to achieve the following:
In partnership with the Fund and the Mayor’s Office, the executive director of this initiative, which ultimately will become a new, independent, nonprofit organization, will report to a board of directors; build an advisory council comprising expanded learning providers, educators, and other community-connected stakeholders; and collaborate with the advisory council to advocate for, support, and connect expanded learning opportunities that provide equitable access for children and youth in the Los Angeles area.
The founding executive director of ExpandLA will be a community-connected, passionate, and inclusive leader as well as an advocate for the OST movement and providers. The executive director will work alongside enrichment leaders and educators across the region to help transform young people’s lives.The executive director will implement the vision and mission of this intermediary organization and will be responsible for creating and leading an inspiring, positive, and healthy workplace; successfully drafting and executing a strategic plan; creating an advisory board; collaborating with the advisory board and leaders across Los Angeles’s diverse communities; creating and managing budgets; fundraising and grant reporting; listening to the region’s diverse communities; building key relationships (i.e., providers and school districts); advocating for expanded learning partners; and recruiting, developing, retaining, coaching, and leading a staff team.
Vision: ExpandLA aims to create an equitable system of access to expanded learning opportunities for children and youth in Greater Los Angeles to activate their limitless potential.
Mission: ExpandLA’s mission is to advocate for, support, and connect expanded learning organizations so that all children and youth in the Los Angeles region have equitable access to expanded learning opportunities.
Compensation: Salary is commensurate with skills and experience. This is a full-time position, contingent upon grant funding, with the first 12–18 months of funding secured.
This opportunity offers a generous benefits package that includes medical, dental, vision, life insurance, LT disability, PTO accrual, and a 403(b) with organization matching.
