• Help identify and pursue new funding opportunities
• Participate in executive leadership planning and organizational decision-making
• Support community outreach and YCCA-sponsored events

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

• Experience supervising managers and multidisciplinary teams
• Budget, grant, and contract management experience
• Quality assurance and continuous improvement experience
• Knowledge of home visiting, early childhood, maternal-child health, or family support services

Why This Role Matters

Every day, your leadership helps strengthen families, support parents, improve child well-being, and expand access to vital community resources. You'll lead talented professionals, build lasting partnerships, and ensure programs continue to make a measurable impact across Yolo County.
