Curriculum Accessibility Specialist

Job Location: Remote

About the Office:

Are you passionate about expanding accessibility and diversity in mindfulness in education resources? If so, Mindfulness First is seeking contracted Curriculum Accessibility Specialists!

Established in 2013, Mindfulness First is a charitable nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching foundational, everyday mindfulness skills in an accessible, culturally responsive way to help support lifelong healthy wellbeing for youth and adults alike. We have over a decade of school-based, community and online programming with demonstrated meaningful and sustained impact.

We believe effective mindfulness education with a K-12 audience happens through experiential learning that builds on each person's existing strengths and capacities. Our pedagogical approach centers on the principle that mindfulness is an innate human ability that can be grown through simple, accessible educational practices.

We're a small but dynamic and seasoned team that values mindfulness in all facets of life. Our deep commitment to this mission drives us to maintain high standards in everything we do. We thrive through collaboration and innovation, continually deepening our knowledge of evidence-based best practices in mindfulness, education, and community building. Our culture fosters integrity, connection, and professional excellence through compassionate and engaged values.

Since 2013, Mindfulness First has equipped thousands of children and adults with proactive and preventative mindfulness-based mental health skills and strategies. During our first decade as an organization,  it became clear that our current programming and curriculum, while effective and evidence-based, required additional adaptation and growth in order to effectively serve the populations that need us most.

“Making Mindfulness Accessible” (“MMA”) is a multi-phase, multi-year project that ensures access to equitable and inclusive trauma-informed mindfulness practices and training. Phase I took place over the past year, which entailed updating our general education K-12 mindfulness curriculum for educators, parents and other adult professionals that support youth. We did this in partnership with a Design Circle of eight experts, including representatives from the Deaf/Blind/Deafblind community, LGBTQ+ community, and individuals with disabilities and neurodivergence (50%+ BIPOC representation). We’re now in the process of updating our corresponding “Teaching Mindfulness” online training for adults that acts a facilitation guide to teach the new K-12 mindfulness curriculum. 

The next critical phase of this project involves adapting, testing, and refining this curriculum specifically for students with low-incidence disabilities, including those who are Blind/Low-Vision (“B/LV”), Deaf/Hard of hearing (“D/HH”), and Deafblind (“DB”) given the paucity of current mental health resources for these communities, combined with the unique accommodations needed to effectively reach them. 

Our curriculum teaches participants the resilient behaviors needed to manage common adversities that children and youth face today, such as increased distraction, disconnection, and dysregulation.

Job Description:

The Curriculum Accessibility Specialists chosen for this project will become part of the team responsible for creating adapted versions of our new K12 curricula to fit the unique needs and experiences of populations that experience low-incidence disabilities.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

  • Provide detailed, implementable adaptation recommendations including specific language modifications, alternative activity structures, sensory adaptations, and material specifications for students and adults with low-incidence disabilities. This adaptation work is needed for these deliverables:
    • 12 general-education K-12 student lessons
    • Student Playbook worksheets
    • “Teaching Mindfulness” online facilitation training module for adults who are teaching the adapted K-12 curriculum to youth
  • Collaborate with the Mindfulness First team and other specialists in making adaptations to curriculum content, materials, and resources to enhance accessibility.
  • Provide recommendations for accessibility tools and resources.
  • Participate in virtual team meetings to discuss accessibility needs, share insights, and contribute practical ideas for curriculum improvement.
  • Accessibility accommodations available
  • Estimated six (6) to eight (8) group meetings
  • Complete surveys and reports, focusing on the accessibility aspects of the development project.

Time commitment: 85 hours total (March through June 2026)

Approximately 21.25 hours per month, including independent work and virtual team meetings

Qualifications:

Mindfulness First values educational experience, work experience, and/or lived experience. We seek individuals who prioritize mental health well-being, are dedicated to advancing our mission, and share our values of trauma-sensitivity, equity, collaboration, and advocacy. As a Curriculum Accessibility Specialist, we are looking for you to have the following skills:

Essential Skills:

  • Extensive knowledge and understanding of the needs of low-incidence disability individuals and communities. 
  • Lived experience or direct experience working with youth, either in a school/educational setting or otherwise.
  • Curriculum development experience
    • Understanding of instructional design principles and evidence-based accommodations.
    • Experience in analyzing educational content and identifying specific barriers to access for students with low-incidence disabilities.
    • Demonstrated ability to provide detailed, actionable curriculum modifications with specific implementation guidance (not just conceptual recommendations).
    • Ability to modify existing content to make it accessible without compromising its educational integrity.
  • Knowledge and understanding of mindfulness and/or social and emotional learning.
  • Ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with a diverse group of individuals, including those with disabilities.
  • Ability to work remotely and navigate online platforms with ease.

Assistant United States Attorney (Civil)

Job Location: Roanoke, VA

About the Office:

The mission of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia (“USAO-WDVA”) is to enforce our Nation’s laws to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans, to provide federal leadership in preventing and reducing crime, and to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior.  We strive to build a stronger office through in-depth recruitment efforts and maintain our high standards by promoting professional development.

The Western District of Virginia covers approximately 60 percent of Virginia’s land area and serves a population of 2.2 million. It comprises 52 counties and 18 independent cities. Currently, over thirty (30) Assistant United States Attorneys (AUSAs) assigned to the Western District prosecute cases and represent the United States in a wide variety of complex civil matters in Roanoke, Charlottesville, Abingdon, Harrisonburg, and Lynchburg. 

Job Description:

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia is soliciting applications to be an Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) within the Civil Division in the Roanoke, Virginia office. The successful candidate will join our team of civil AUSAs who handle a wide variety of affirmative and defensive litigation on behalf of the United States of America.

An appointment as a Civil AUSA offers a unique and challenging experience for a highly motivated attorney: the opportunity to handle their own caseload in which they represent the United States as either Plaintiff or Defendant depending on the circumstances. On the affirmative side, the AUSA will lead investigations and prosecutions of a wide variety of federal civil offenses, including but not limited to violations of the False Claims Act. On the defensive side, the AUSA will lead a wide variety of challenging litigation that includes, among other things, representing government agencies and employees under the Federal Tort Claims Act (including primarily medical malpractice, automobile accident, premises liability, and other torts), Title VII, the ADEA, the Rehabilitation Act (employment discrimination), the Administrative Procedures Act (agency actions and decisions), and other statutes.  The AUSA will also represent federal employees sued in their individual capacities under Bivens or other federal statutes, and will represent the Bureau of Prisons and its employees in a wide variety of prisoner-related litigation. 

An AUSA engaged in this challenging work spends substantial time on legal research and writing dispositive motions, as well as substantial time in discovery (interviewing witnesses, taking and defending depositions, working with expert witnesses, propounding and responding to written discovery requests), and representing the United States in mediations and settlement conferences. Although many cases are resolved through dispositive motion or settlement, the AUSA will also represent the United States at bench and jury trials in federal court.   

Responsibilities will increase and assignments will become more complex as your training and experience progress.

All initial attorney appointments in the Department of Justice are pending favorable adjudication of a background investigation.
