Jabal An-Nar Club is seeking a qualified financial officer to work on PYE project in Nablus.  

Jabal An-Nar Club:

 Jabal An-Nar Club was established in 2003 in Nablus to mainly target youth as they are active contributors in community development, and it constantly works to develop their skills and capabilities in order to reach their personal and social goals. In 2008, Jabal An-Nar Club developed The Youth Development Resources Center model (YDRC) in Nablus which   offers various programs that aim to accomplish multiple goals manifested in: providing employment opportunities for youth, activating their social, cultural and technological roles, and contributing in the improvement of the social and entertainment conditions of children and marginalized people in the local community.

About PYE:

Mercy Corps and International Youth Foundation (IYF) are implementing USAID-funded Positive Youth Engagement (PYE) project in partnership with Jabal An-Nar club as regional partner in the north of West Bank. Tailored to the Palestinian context, this holistic program will support adolescents with a menu of activities, opportunities for engagement and leadership, and resources to pursue their goals with hope for the future along peaceful and productive pathways. PYE will draw on a suite of proven and contextually tailored tools, over a decade of research-informed programming on the 10–19-year-old age group, the trust and credibility that comes from a combined 35+ years of continuous operational experience across the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem (WBG) through local partners with strong networks and youth programming experience throughout WBG. The program will reintegrate older adolescents (15–19-year-olds) into social and economic life by empowering them to successfully pursue their goals and prevent younger adolescents (10–14-year-olds) from becoming isolated and disconnected from social and economic opportunities.

 PYE is designed to deliver a three-pronged, mutually reinforcing program segmented by gender and age across the targeted communities in the west Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem:

1. Core programming that supports, protects, prepares, and engages adolescents in safe spaces located within a strong network of community- based organizations (CBOs),
2. Tailored packages of activities, resources, and referrals that will set youth on individually selected Pathways building on the core curriculum to increase opportunities for youth to effectively contribute to social and economic development.
3. Opportunities for sustained community engagement and leadership through youth- led pathways with a focus on innovation, and social entrepreneurship, community-based and social media awareness raising and social dialoguing campaigns, in addition to mentorship of youth as part of Sustainable community- based youth networks.
