Posted by Swarthmore College Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility on November 25, 2025

The Eugene M. Lang Center for Civic and Social Responsibility facilitates Swarthmore College’s commitment to intellectual rigor, ethical engagement, and social responsibility by connecting the curriculum, campus, and communities, including proximate communities of Chester and Philadelphia; more distant community partners around the country and globe; and the community of scholars and practitioners who share knowledge and best practices regarding ethical action and civic engagement. The Lang Center connects the College’s curricular excellence with engagement in all of those communities using an approach that we identify as Engaged Scholarship.

The Lang Center for Civic & Social Responsibility is an international leader in “engaged scholarship” and citizenship education, housed within internationally recognized Swarthmore College and home to over 20 signature citizenship education programs. The Lang Center seeks an organized, detail-oriented, and flexible team player to provide operational and program support for our many established programs. This position will work to broaden the Lang Center’s reach and usefulness among Swarthmore College students, faculty, and staff, and to develop the Lang Center’s mission in accordance with higher education best-practices. The position requires collaborative work with the Lang Center Directors and Executive Director to support faculty, staff, students, and community partners in three major areas: 1) general administrative support; 2) coordination of and support for the Lang Center’s multiple programs; and 3) operations and budget coordination.
