Director of Learning
Role Summary
Join Karam Foundation as the Director of Learning to lead innovative education programs for youth in post-conflict Syria.
About the Organisation
Beit Karam is a first-of-its-kind community organization for education, healing, and rebuilding in Syria. Founded in Aleppo, it is a home for possibility created for young people and families returning after years of displacement, as well as those who never left, to carry their communities forward. Beit Karam is where Syrian youth discover their potential, explore creative learning, and shape the future of their communities. It’s where people access training and mentorship, and find a space to heal from trauma. This work is made possible through our partnership with Karam Foundation and Karam Evi, two organizations committed to restoring dignity and rebuilding futures across the Syrian diaspora. Beit Karam deepens this mission by bringing it home. We believe in building not just what was lost, but what was always possible. At Beit Karam, we are growing a generation of changemakers, dreamers, and leaders who will help shape a free, thriving Syria.
This year, we launched the first Karam Caravan, a mobile maker lab bringing fun, creative, and learning activities directly to schools in and around Aleppo and Idlib. Together with our School Rehabilitation program, this new pathway for our [innovative education program](https://karam.nuvustudio.com/discover/studios) establishes a foundation for scaling our reach and impact in the education of Syria’s youth.
