Work well on your own and genuinely enjoy being part of a team
Notice the new face at the door
See complex projects through, right down to the last detail
What you’ll do: Mastermind systems and structures behind the scenes at Center DC. Keep our space open, welcoming, and running smoothly. Organize and grow our wonderful volunteer team.

Do you get a little thrill from a perfectly planned calendar? Are you the person who spots the typo on the flyer before it goes to print? You might be the perfect fit for this new role. With over 1,000 gatherings a year, there’s always something happening at Center DC - and we need someone to keep it running and get the word out.
You’ll own our programmatic calendar - classes, small groups, speakers, and the DC Iftar League - and make sure people know what we’re up to. You’ll write our weekly newsletter, run our Instagram, capture photos and short videos at events, and design flyers that make people want to come.
You’ll thrive here if you’re organized, warm with people, and calm when plans change or pop up last minute. You think in weeks and quarters, follow through without reminders, and know your way around Canva. Familiarity with Center DC isn’t required - just genuine care for the community we serve.

Safe(r) Space Team
Center DC has a dedicated group of specialized volunteers who serve on our accountability team. When an issue arrises between community members, these professionals support our safe(r) space process, with the goal of addressing harm and conflict, holding people accountable to one another, and keeping folks in community when at all possible. This team also plans proactive circles and gatherings to build community and address larger issues that emerge and impact our ability to be in ‘right relationship’ with one another.
We are currently looking to onboard 3-4 new members who have experience in:
mental health
victims advocacy
mediation + conflict resolution
restorative justice facilitation
Folks who are the best fit for this role are community-adjacent (i.e. not deeply involved and super socially connected within the Center DC ecosystem). Not knowing everyone in community is a benefit here! If you attend multiple events each week, you’re likely too close to the community to serve in this way!
You can view the full job description HERE. This is a one year commitment, with the option to renew. Interested candidates should submit a resume and statement of interest to saferspace@centerdc.org with “Joining the Safe(r)Space Team” as the subject line. Applications will be reviewed and an interview will be scheduled for those advancing forward, where we’ll review our process and answer questions. We hope to onboard 3-4 new members this year, inshaAllah!

DC Iftar League Hosts
Every year, we recruit 7+ volunteers to host a weekly iftar and open it up to others to join - gatherings can be hosted at your home, at a local masjid, in the park, or at a restaurant! All you have to do is pick a day of the week to commit to, and communicate details with your people weekly via a Center DC WhatsApp group that you’ll manage for the month. Sign up to host:

Board Member
Center DC is at a pivotal moment. In January 2026, we expanded our physical space by 400% and are growing our team to match our community's needs. We're looking for passionate individuals to join our Board and help steward this next chapter of growth. Since 2015, we've built a faith-based community where people practicing and exploring Islam can grow authentic relationships with God and each other. Today, we serve 6,000 people through 600+ annual gatherings with a $500k budget that's 90% donor-funded.
We're seeking board members who bring diverse skills and experiences—from HR and finance to communications, fundraising, and organizational development. Board service requires 8-10 hours monthly, including bi-monthly meetings, an annual retreat, and a $3,000 give-or-get commitment that can be met through personal contribution, targeted fundraising, or in-kind services.
This is a one year commitment, with the option to renew. Download the full description HERE.
At this time, we are not seeking additional board members. Please do check back periodically or reach out to our E.D. for an informational interview!
