Summary
Mission-driven youth program leader with 7+ years of YMCA experience spanning frontline work, lead staff, and sole site leadership. Currently overseeing all operations of a licensed school-age childcare and summer day camp program - hiring, training, and mentoring a team of 9-12 staff, managing a ~$195k annual budget, ensuring full licensing compliance, and designing enriching programming for ~60 school-year and 90–100 summer participants. Deeply rooted in YMCA values as a former Y Kid (thanks to donor-funded financial assistance), a former and current volunteer serving youth and family programs, and a long-tenured staff member, with a proven ability to build community, lead people, and run programs that make a real difference. Ready to bring that same operational excellence and mission commitment to a Director-level role.
