*GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement, unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities. It is also the name of the nucleus organization that supports a global community of movement leaders in 100+ countries; cause and community campaigns; and many millions of people all over the world committed to inspiring and manifesting generosity in the world.

Community Campaigns are an important part of the movement, inspiring citizens to give locally and catalyzing a virtuous cycle of civic engagement, trust, and a more resilient nonprofit sector. Building on a decade of support to Community Campaign leaders, deep data on the efficacy of Campaigns, and need to increase support for civil society, we have launched a program - the Community Campaign Accelerator - to significantly increase the number of Community Campaigns across the United States.

We are seeking an experienced, resourceful, and tenacious Educational Design Consultant to help launch the Accelerator for organizers seeking to start a Campaign or increase levels of engagement around an existing one. The Consultant will work with our team and Campaign practitioners to design, develop, and refine a core and train-the-trainer curriculum. They will also play a key role in shaping the program's structure, content, and delivery mechanisms, ensuring that it is effective and impactful for a cohort of diverse organizers across the United States. They will also work with our experienced monitoring and evaluation teams to design the learning metrics needed to ensure long-term program success.
