Social Change Administrative Associate

About the Idaho Coalition

The Idaho Coalition identifies, supports, and thrives as an intergenerational, multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-cultural organization for the benefit of our team, our work, and our movement to end gender violence, inextricably interconnected to multiple systemic oppressions. Our focus is girls and women, and people who are gender oppressed, who are impacted by or at risk of gender violence and systemic oppression.

Gender violence (sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking) does not occur in isolation. Gender violence is part of the continuum of gender oppression and is fueled by social injustice, including patriarchy, sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, religious discrimination, and anti-immigrant sentiment. To end gender violence, we must address the larger systemic issues that generate and sustain it.

Shared Vision and North Star

Our shared vision is one of beloved communities with social equity and collective liberation for all human beings, where we see our own and each other’s full humanity, where everyone has the ability to thrive, and where the dominant social narrative is one of interdependence, resilience, and regeneration. Our north star is collective thriving and embodies our vision, values, and purpose.

Organizational Values

Our organization aspires to embody the values we want to see in the world:

Bold Vision – We are open to possibilities and encourage risk-taking.

Compassion – We see each other’s full humanity with love and kindness, and intentionally turn toward others to end suffering and oppression.

Interconnection – We hold broad awareness and understand our profound interconnectedness and respect our relationships with one another and our earth.

Solidarity – We amplify the voices and histories of communities marginalized by society and celebrate our differences.

Collective Liberation – We recognize that our own freedom from oppression is connected and bound with individuals most marginalized by systems of power in society.

Approaches Across the Organization

We are working to reclaim our connection to our own and each other’s humanity, and to create the foundation for collective thriving by embodying these four approaches across our organizational work:

Center on Communities Most Impacted by Historical Marginalization and Violence + Community-Centered Solutions

Build alliances and power with and among communities marginalized by society.

Challenge institutions’ and systems’ behaviors, culture, and policy that create the conditions for gender violence fueled by multiple, systemic oppressions.

Catalyze Change in Prevention and Response – Collective Healing, Spirituality, and Resilience

Convene learning communities to strengthen relationships, share knowledge, and accelerate emerging practices in services and social change.

Challenge institutions and systems through authentic conversations, calling-in, interruption with compassion, and policy change.

Create New Social Norms to Interrupt the Root Causes of Violence – Transformative Cultural Strategies

Promote social norms that interrupt the root causes of gender violence fueled by multiple systemic oppressions.

Move with multiple, coordinated strategies based on community needs, best and emerging practices, research, and an evaluative mindset.

Mobilizing Across Movements
