The Company is seeking an Executive Director to lead its mission of training defenders and advocating for policy and legislation on behalf of youth in the juvenile delinquency system. The successful candidate will be a hands-on, values-driven leader with a strong background in management, fundraising, and a deep commitment to equity and justice reform. This role is pivotal in shaping the future of youth justice, particularly in the context of the current challenges within the system. The Executive Director will be responsible for cultivating strong relationships with staff, the Board of Directors, partners, and stakeholders, and fostering collaboration across the youth justice ecosystem in the state. Applicants for the Executive Director position at the company should have a proven track record of leading impactful change, building high-performing teams, and navigating complex issues with integrity, adaptability, and vision. The role demands a leader who can ensure that all young people have access to the support and opportunities they deserve.
