CFOS is looking for a part-time Mapping Coordinator for our three-year Influencer Project. This project is a three-year joint initiative with Sabeel Jerusalem and Friends of Sabeel North America. It will bring to East Jerusalem 250 influencers from Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. to acquaint them with the Palestinian identity of Jerusalem, its culture, and its people. The goal is that these influencers will inspire their own networks to promote East Jerusalem as a Palestinian destination and to become advocates for the Palestinian cause.
