Founded in 2008, Deep Center’s mission is to empower Savannah’s young people to thrive as learners, community leaders, and agents of change. Through creative writing, cultural production, and art, Deep creates platforms for the city’s youth and the village of support around them, including their families and adult allies, to share stories, engage in debates, and make Savannah a more just and equitable place. Deep Center’s framework is anti-racist, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. The Research and Policy Analyst will play a crucial role in conducting research and helping to develop policy recommendations for Deep Center’s annual policy brief. They will work with the Policy Director and the Executive Director to review data and research, make strategic decisions about advocacy campaigns, and connect with local and national partners for input and strategic networking.
