Equity for Children/Equidad para la Infancia (EFC), a center within the Studley Graduate Program in International Affairs (SGPIA), is a pioneer and leader in the movement for equity through direct action and support of
initiatives and programs that advance the agenda of children’s rights and wellbeing. We work to advance equity for children by creating and disseminating research about policies affecting the most underserved populations and programs that raise innovative solutions. We engage with children and youth to help shape responsible future leaders who realize the importance of equity-focused policy for themselves and for society in general.
Founded in 2006 by SGPIA Professor Alberto Minujin at The New School, the program provides a global knowledge acquisition tool for policymakers, academics, students, practitioners and all those working to better the lives of children in need. With a presence in New York, Buenos Aires and Mexico City, Equity for Children
sponsors independent, critical thinking and debate, original research, teaching and events in person and through its websites in English, Spanish and Portuguese, encouraging shared conversation, vision and knowledge for all those involved in children’s rights. Reporting to EFC’s Associate Director, the Social Media and Outreach Assistant will focus on developing the social media and online presence of EFC. Additional tasks may be requested to assist with the general communications strategy of the organization.
