By Fox News · Fox News

The Obama Presidential Center is just months away from opening in Chicago , officially accepting job applications for individuals who share the organization's commitment to "anti-racism and equity," according to its website. "When people come here, we want them to feel what makes the South Side so special," former President Barack Obama said in a video message posted to social media Tuesday announcing the job openings. "The mix of warmth and grit, the sense of humor that can brighten any day, the creativity that turns challenges into opportunities, and the joy that shows up in every block, every place of worship and every family reunion." The presidential center, which is expected to open on Chicago's South Side in June, is looking to fill 150 job positions stretching from custodians to "ambassadors of hope" who greet visitors. Applications are open until Jan. 31. The Obama Foundation's website underscores its commitment to being an "anti-racist" organization throughout its main web page focused on careers, as well as within the job descriptions for the available roles.

The center describes its team as "equal parts dreamers and doers" and who "care as much about how we achieve our goals as we do about the goals themselves." "We are also committed to creating an anti-racist organization in order to do our part to help combat racism and inequity in all forms, in communities across our nation and around the world," the Obama Foundation's main webpage for careers states.
