Club Director

Club Director

At Boys & Girls Clubs of Skagit County, our Clubhouses are lively, creative, sometimes chaotic, and always full of heart. They are places where kids laugh loudly, try new things, and feel like they belong. We're looking for a Club Director who enjoys that energy, embraces the fun, and knows how to lead a team while keeping joy at the center of the work.

The Club Director is the on-site leader who helps set the tone for the entire Club. You'll oversee daily operations while creating a space that feels safe, welcoming, and genuinely fun for youth and staff alike. From greeting families at the door to jumping in when a program needs support, this role is hands-on and people-centered.

This position blends leadership, organization, and play. You'll support staff through coaching and collaboration, help programs run smoothly, and keep the day-to-day moving forward even when things get busy. Depending on services offered at the site, the Club Director may also serve as the DCYF-designated Site Leader or Center Program Supervisor and ensure licensing, health, and safety requirements are met.

You'll lead and support a team of staff by hiring, training, scheduling, and mentoring them, while fostering a workplace culture rooted in Fun, Respect, Integrity, Community, and Acceptance. You'll help staff bring energy and creativity to programs, maintain a safe and well-organized space, and model a calm, positive approach when challenges arise.

You'll build meaningful relationships with youth and families by being visible, approachable, and engaged in daily Club life. You'll collaborate with schools and community partners, support Community Council activities, and participate in fundraising and community events that strengthen the Club's connection to the community. You'll also handle required documentation and reporting, working closely with organizational leadership to support continuous improvement.

We're seeking someone who enjoys working in an active, fast-paced environment and understands that fun and structure go hand in hand. You should have experience in youth development, school-age, or early learning settings, along with experience supervising staff and supporting program operations.

Strong communication and organizational skills are essential, as is the ability to stay flexible, positive, and solution-focused. Candidates must meet or be able to meet Washington State DCYF requirements to serve as a Site Leader or Center Program Supervisor. A bachelor's degree, familiarity with DCYF licensing, experience with program quality frameworks, or bilingual abilities are a plus but not required.

This is a full-time, site-based position. Hours may include early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends based on program needs. The role requires active supervision of youth, frequent movement throughout the site, lifting up to 50 pounds, and the ability to respond quickly in emergency situations, with or without reasonable accommodation.
