RTT’s trainings and forums have directly reached more than 100,000 participants across the U.S., many of them influential faith leaders, TV writers, higher education administrators, and other norm-shapers positioned to make far-reaching culture change and indirectly impact millions more. Informed by combined expertise in the fields of mediation, conflict transformation, trauma therapy, and social research, our methodology for building “healthy conflict” in communities is nationally recognized and highly sought after .
In this volatile moment, RTT offers an opportunity to play a meaningful role in building societal trust and repair alongside an outstanding team.

In an independent contractor capacity, you would serve as a core institutional writing partner, taking ownership of proposals, reports, and other key deliverables, either on a project basis or through an ongoing engagement.

A strength for writing in multiple voices and tailoring messages to diverse funders and audiences
Experience collecting program and research insights and collaborating with senior leaders, program staff, and/or subject matter experts to develop vivid, well-supported content
Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple writing projects and deadlines
Preferred:
Experience working with or writing for foundations, particularly within bridge-building pluralism, or democracy-building arenas
Familiarity with or experience in conflict transformation, peacebuilding, or related fields

You’re someone who can channel the voice and insights of others. You listen closely, pick up on nuance, give language to ideas, and help organizations and leaders capture what they most seek to convey.
You’re comfortable working both independently and collaboratively. You can run with a draft on your own, while also eliciting support from others to inform strategy and messaging.
You’re someone who follows through. You manage multiple deadlines, stay organized, and reliably deliver strong work even when timelines are tight or priorities shift.
You care about RTT’s mission. You have a passion for RTT’s mission to overcome toxic polarization and build a shared society. You believe it is crucial for more Americans to communicate and collaborate across differences in backgrounds and views. You proactively pursue opportunities to learn across lines of difference.

Who We Are
With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, Front Range Community College is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.
Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities. FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek .
One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone . The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.
The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.
FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.
Who You Are

Depending on your background, you may also teach specialized courses connected to your clinical expertise. Additionally, you will also help to coordinate the staffing of online courses.

You will also contribute to program quality by selecting instructional materials, participating in program evaluation, and supporting state-required CTE and Perkins planning.
You work individually, as well as in collaboration with colleagues, to develop an innovative curriculum which meets the needs of our diverse population of students. Student retention and success are your top priority. You will utilize technology and effective teaching strategies to develop students’ critical thinking skills.
As a faculty member you act as a mentor for the part-time instructors. You serve as representative of the department by participating in committees, task forces, and events at the campus, college, and/or state levels.

Teaching at a community college is a unique and rewarding challenge. You’re often working with a wide array of students—from high schoolers taking concurrent enrollment courses to adult learners returning for a career pivot.

We believe students learn best from those who have real-world experience and firsthand knowledge of what it takes to excel in the field. Employers are looking for well-rounded individuals that have a variety of skills to meet the demands and expectations of today’s global marketplace. Marketing Management program students build a strong foundation of skills and competencies needed to be successful in today’s fast-paced business environment. Students are guided with support from faculty which possess both the necessary academic credentials and industry experience within their respective disciplines. Program faculty also work with area business leaders to keep current with the needs of local employers and incorporate these skills and competencies into program coursework.
We are looking for a dedicated, student-orientated, enthusiastic and knowledgeable educator who brings both passion for teaching and a strong foundation in marketing to students across a variety of business programs at our main campus. While a range of courses and modalities (face-to-face, online) may be assigned, teaching assignments may include, but are not limited to: Principles of Marketing, Principles of Selling, Principles of Retailing, Sports Marketing, International Business, Consumer Behavior, Advertising and Visual Merchandising, and Intro to Business . A full-time teaching load is 15 credit hours per semester (Fall and Spring), with additional opportunities to teach during the summer if desired.
This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by delivering dynamic instruction. We are interested in finding a knowledgeable, positive professional role model to inspire our students and work with a strong faculty team. The college provides a two-year faculty induction & mentoring program to support our newest faculty members to assist them with success.
Hawkeye Community College is a comprehensive community college focused on meeting the needs of the community by providing quality, affordable learning experiences for a wide array of students through our Adult Learning Center, Business and Community Education Department as well as through more than 50 career and technical programs and liberal arts transfer programs.
