POSITION SUMMARY:

The Pittsburgh Resiliency Center, 10.27 Healing Partnership, is the central coordinating agency for the region’s response to the deadly synagogue shooting that took place on October 27, 2018. Housed at and sponsored by the Jewish Community Center, it seeks to provide support and resources to promote healing and resiliency to all members of the greater Pittsburgh community who were impacted directly or indirectly by the October 27, 2018, synagogue shooting. Primarily, we do this through victims services, trauma healing and wellness, and helping build the narrative led by the six organizational values defined here:

• Journey: We are on a journey with people, and we are guided by those we serve, respecting the agency and independence of those we serve in choosing their own paths.
• Education: We believe that by educating the communities where we live and work to understand trauma, communal trauma, identity-based violence, and resiliency, that we build more empowered and resilient communities.
• Healing Through Empowerment: We support the agency, innate dignity, and voices of every person. We show this in our work by uplifting victims’ voices and independence and responding to their needs without expectations or assumptions.
• Humility: We believe that we are not the center of our work. Our community is the center of our work, and we are there to support the community via whatever means is best for the community.
• Nuance & Depth: We believe to be trauma-informed includes holding nuance and rejecting “black and white” thinking. We recognize that no community has a single set of opinions, voices, or ideals, and we work to find common ground and empathy while acknowledging the complexity of the community.
• Diversity & Inclusion: We honor, respect, and welcome the full identities of those we serve, inclusive of every ethnicity, race, religion, ability, gender, and sexual identity. We recognize that trauma, communal trauma, and identity-based violence are all impacted by an individuals’ background and identity, and we strive to make our programming and services as culturally informed as possible.
