About the Role

The Company is in search of an Executive Director to lead its transformative work in youth-driven advocacy and program models. The successful candidate will be at the forefront of the organization's mission to create, support, and advocate for racially equitable, healthy environments that foster the development of young people at risk of or experiencing foster care or homelessness. This role is pivotal in setting the organizational vision, leading strategic priorities, and ensuring that the voices of young people with lived experience are central to all aspects of the work. The Executive Director will be responsible for guiding the team, building strategic relationships, and overseeing the financial sustainability of the organization. A deep understanding of the local ecosystem, visionary nonprofit leadership, and a commitment to antiracism, equity, and belonging are essential.

They should be adept at managing a diverse team, fostering a collaborative and inclusive workplace culture, and leading efforts to co-create positive workplace environments.

The role demands a dynamic and compelling ambassador who can represent the organization effectively and mobilize support from various stakeholders. A commitment to the values of the organization, including a dedication to the advancement of equity and the creation of inclusive communities, is fundamental.
