Are you looking for a job? If so, then I have great news for you. The Obama Foundation is now hiring.
The Obama Foundation is a Chicago-based nonprofit organization founded in 2014. The nonprofit oversees the creation of the Barack Obama Foundation. The Foundation also runs the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, a program Barack Obama began while he was President of the United States. The Obama Foundation also runs a scholarship program through the University of Chicago’s Harris School of Public Policy.
“That mission begins at home, on the South Side of Chicago, where we are building the Obama Presidential Center,” The Obama Foundation says on their website. “But it extends to all our work, whether its holding leadership training sessions in communities throughout the U.S., bringing local leaders together in countries around the world, working to support the global education of girls, or ensuring young men of color have pathways to opportunity.”
