Living Links
It is with great excitement and immense pride that we announce the creation of Living Links, a national umbrella organization for 3G groups focused on empowering and engaging grandchildren of survivors. Over the last 18 months, leaders from 3GNY and 10 other 3G chapters have worked together to shape this new entity to support our mission and community. 3GNY will remain an independent non-profit organization, and we look forward to partnering with Living Links to expand the impact of the 3G movement.
The professional infrastructure of Living Links will support the growth of existing 3G chapters and the establishment of new ones, and ensure the chapters become a vibrant network through excellent programming and communication. Living Links will also take on operational responsibility for the WEDU speaker training, shepherding it through unprecedented growth while allowing 3GNY to focus on strengthening our school and community outreach and programs.
Living Links and all its programs will be developed at USC Shoah Foundation with the intention of launching Living Links as an independent national organization in approximately 3 years. Living Links has openings for three full-time positions to lead this new initiative. See below for job summaries of these positions, complete job descriptions and how to apply will be posted soon.
