Jack M. Barrack Hebrew Academy is a pluralistic Jewish day school for students in grades 6-12. Located in Bryn Mawr, PA (metropolitan Philadelphia), Barrack is the premier Jewish day school in the Delaware Valley, attracting students from Philadelphia and its suburbs, Allentown, southern New Jersey, and Wilmington, Delaware. The school integrates a comprehensive and rigorous college preparatory curriculum with the teaching of essential Jewish and American values and texts. Guided by our four Derech Eretz values of Honor, Moral Courage, Kindness, and Community, Barrack values diversity, celebrates the richness of Judaism's language, culture, and history, and is strongly connected to Israel. Barrack prepares future leaders of the American, Jewish, and global communities who work for a better world through acts of justice and compassion.

The Student Life and Activities Coordinator plays an important role in creating a joyous atmosphere in school in which student-life programming and a focus on the overall student experience is essential to the Barrack program.

This team member will be the point person for student life activities for grades 6-12 and will work with Division Directors and other professionals and team members (including the Director of Jewish Life) to ensure a vibrant student life program at our school. The Student Life and Activities Coordinator will be involved in clubs, trips, signature events, community service opportunities, and the development of new programs that bring energy and opportunities to our students.

The ability to stay focused while working on a variety of tasks and projects, and be organized, aid in success in this role.
