Digital Resource Design Consultant

The GOA Center for Family Care is looking to hire a consultant to support the work of the recently awarded 5-year Lilly Endowment Inc. grant, On Behalf of All: Toward an Accessible Divine Liturgy for Children with Disabilities. In Autumn of 2024, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America Center for Family Care was awarded a generous grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. for the establishment of a new initiative – On Behalf of All: Toward an Accessible Divine Liturgy for Children with Disabilities (OBOA).
 

The grant will provide funding for a period of five years for this project that has as its purpose to bring together people with disabilities, caregivers, priests, pastoral leaders, and others with disability ministry expertise, to chart and address barriers to participation, foster collaboration among parishes working toward this effort, provide education and professional development for clergy and pastoral leaders, pilot best practices, design and gather resources, and create replicable models for use in and beyond the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. The grant is funded by Lilly Endowment’s Nurturing Children Through Worship and Prayer Initiative, a national initiative designed to help Christian congregations more fully and intentionally engage children in intergenerational worship and prayer practices.

The Digital Resource Design Consultant will support the OBOA website and design needs of digital resource development, marketing, and dissemination. This will be a part-time, independent contractor role with an estimated 100 to 200 contract hours per year. Applicants should be fluent in digital resource creation, have experience in designing graphics for checklists and communications to help simplify and reinforce web and social media content. A desire to serve Christ and His children is essential. Experience/knowledge of Universal Design frameworks to create accessible platforms and resources for people with a variety of disabilities will also be helpful in this role.
