About the organization

The Asian University for Women Support Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)3 nonprofit in Cambridge, MA responsible for international resource mobilization and communications for the Asian University for Women (AUW) in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Opened in 2008, AUW is an international, liberal arts university which seeks to cultivate the region’s next generation of female leaders. With a student body of 1500 hailing from 18 different countries, AUW promotes the ethos of cross-cultural understanding, academic curiosity, and ethical leadership.

AUWSF now seeks a Recruitment and Training Coordinator based in the Greater Boston Metropolitan area, who will be responsible for the recruitment of Fellows, as well as traveling to Chittagong to deliver a four-week orientation.
