GLIDE is a nationally recognized center for social justice, dedicated to fighting systemic injustices, creating pathways out of poverty and crisis, and transforming lives. Through its integrated comprehensive services, advocacy initiatives, and inclusive community, GLIDE empowers individuals, families, and children to achieve stability and to thrive. GLIDE addresses issues including poverty, housing and homelessness, and racial and social justice, with a mission to create a radically inclusive, just, and loving community mobilized to alleviate suffering and break cycles of poverty and marginalization.

Summary

GLIDE is launching the brand-new Transitional-Age Youth (TAY) Health and Wellness Center (TAY HWC), set to open its doors on August 1st (projected). As the TAY HWC Manager, you will help build and lead this 24/7 drop-in center from the ground up, creating a safe, welcoming space for transitional-aged youth (ages 18-27) in San Francisco who are experiencing homelessness or instability. The center will provide essential services, respite, and pathways to long-term well-being across housing, healthcare, employment, and community-building. The site is located at 888 Post Street, San Francisco.

This role involves shaping a brand-new program, establishing core operational priorities, service delivery strategies, and partnerships to drive impact. You will oversee daily operations, ensure the center runs smoothly and safely, and align work with program goals, organizational policies, and funding requirements. You will collaborate with city agencies, community partners, and internal teams to build a strong foundation for success. As a member of the Program Leadership Team, you will help drive innovation, mobilize resources, and create a collaborative, high-impact environment that supports San Francisco’s most vulnerable youth.

Please note this role is expected to start in July 2025 as we finalize the center's construction.
