As our organisation continues to grow and positively impact society we are now seeking to recruit two new roles to join our team and help us to educate, empower and inspire today’s Irish girls to become tomorrow’s strong confident and curious young women by building and maintaining our network of stakeholders, supporters and Shona Sisters.
The Shona Project is a multi-award-winning national non-profit which was launched in 2016. It is an innovative support system for young girls living in Ireland, which has already reached over 35,000 girls through its school workshops, 300,000 girls monthly through online articles and videos, our multi-award winning SHINE Festival, our national ambassador programme, and our recently launched mentorship programme.
The Shona Project has gathered a huge amount of momentum and has created a movement to support the next generation of powerful and authentic young women. The new roles are purpose-driven, and provide an excellent opportunity to contribute to ensuring the next generation of Irish women feel empowered and supported to achieve their potential.
