The Program Director’s responsibility is to oversee the execution of our summer program.

The Program Director will report to the Executive Director and work alongside the permanent staff to carry out the details of the program while working to build partnerships in the community to enhance our reach to families, children, neighbors, young adults and community partners.

The Program Director will provide vision and direction to the development, implementation, and evaluation of our evidence-based program which is grounded in equity, social-emotional learning, literacy, developmental relationships, spiritual formation, and leadership development. The Program Director will work along-side families, churches, and community groups to impact change.
