Purpose of the Role
To study, absorb, and support the integration of Metacrisis frameworks into Umoja’s internal culture, orientations, and long-term strategies—by becoming fluent in the framing, tracking global risk dynamics, and helping translate this complexity into meaningful action for our communities.
This role is also the first step on a path toward becoming a Metacrisis Coach for Umoja Greenlands.
🧠Context: What Is the Metacrisis?
The Metacrisis refers to the interwoven ecological, technological, social, economic, and existential breakdowns shaping our time—and the failure of current systems to respond coherently.

Help document and translate what’s being learned into glossaries, visual maps, articles, or learning tools
Assist in making the framing accessible and culturally grounded for the Umoja team and African context
Stay informed on emerging risks (e.g., climate tipping points, AI acceleration, social collapse) and help link them to our practical work
Collaborate across other circles when systemic insight is needed

Excited to eventually mentor others in this work
Time Commitment
