What are some common challenges faced by individuals working as Quaker Friends in community outreach roles?

One common challenge for Friends Quakers involved in community outreach is balancing the commitment to non-hierarchical decision-making with the need for timely action, especially in urgent situations. Additionally, navigating differences in spiritual understanding and practice among diverse members can require patience and strong communication skills. Friends often work collaboratively in committees, which fosters a supportive environment but may slow down certain processes. Adapting to the evolving needs of their communities while upholding Quaker values also requires ongoing reflection and flexibility.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) leader, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Quaker leader, a deep understanding of Quaker faith, values, and history is essential, often supported by participation in Quaker meetings and religious education. Familiarity with spiritual guidance resources and community facilitation tools is typically required. Strong listening, empathy, and conflict resolution skills set effective leaders apart in fostering inclusive and supportive communities. These abilities are crucial for nurturing spiritual growth, maintaining group harmony, and upholding the principles of the Religious Society of Friends.

What are Friends Quakers?

Friends Quakers, commonly known as Quakers, are members of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian movement that began in England in the 17th century. Quakers emphasize direct experience of God, simplicity, peace, integrity, community, and equality. They are known for their distinctive practices, including silent worship, decision-making by consensus, and strong commitments to social justice and nonviolence. Quakers have played significant roles in movements for abolition, women's rights, and humanitarian causes. Their meetings and beliefs may vary, but the focus on inner light and ethical living is central to Quaker identity.

About Sidwell Friends School

Sidwell Friends School is a dynamic pre-kindergarten through grade 12 educational community, on campuses in Bethesda, Maryland, and Washington, DC. Sidwell is grounded in Quaker values of ethical leadership, global citizenship, environmental stewardship, and service. Through our curriculum and our approach to learning, we strive to help students discern deeper truths about themselves and our common humanity so that they may “let their lives speak.”

Sidwell Friends will open a new Upper School for grades 9-12 in September 2026. It will be the largest building on campus and will feature state-of-the art facilities, welcoming common spaces, and natural light throughout. The current Lower School, in Bethesda, Maryland, has been separated from the rest of the Sidwell campus for more than 60 years.

Starting in the summer of 2026, Sidwell Friends will begin construction of a new Lower School that will incorporate parts of the existing Upper School, with significant additions and modifications to accommodate the needs of our youngest students. The new Lower School, along with the creation of a new central green space that will unite the campus, will open in the fall of 2028.

Position Overview

Sidwell Friends School's Upper School campus in Washington, DC, seeks an Interim Full-Time History Teacher for the 2026–2027 academic year.

Qualified candidates must possess a bachelor's degree in History or a related field (an advanced degree is preferred) and have a minimum of three years of teaching experience, preferably at the high school level. Experience teaching African History as a standalone course or teaching the history of Africa within a World History curriculum is required.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate the ability to inspire, engage, and support students while fostering a dynamic learning environment. Successful applicants will be collaborative, adaptable, and committed to Sidwell Friends School's values of academic excellence, equity, justice, service, Quaker principles, and students' social-emotional well-being. An appreciation for working with adolescents and a strong sense of humor are essential.

Salary & Benefits

Sidwell Friends School offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support employees’ health, well-being, and long-term financial security. Benefits include multiple medical, dental, and vision plan options; school-paid life and long-term disability insurance; wellness programs; and flexible spending accounts.

Sidwell contributes 7% of gross salary to a 403(b) retirement plan, with a 3% employee contribution, along with generous paid time off, including school breaks, federal holidays, personal days, and paid family leave. Additional benefits include free lunch and parking, public transportation support, access to campus facilities, childcare, summer program discounts, and other community-focused resources.

Salary: $62,407-$140,253 per year. Salary will be commensurate with experience and qualifications
