Help every kid find their place to belong

Every weekday at 3:30, kids walk through our doors looking for a place to belong. Some need help with homework. Some need a coach, a mentor, or just an adult who notices them. All of them deserve a Club that’s safe, joyful, and built to help them grow into who they’re meant to be.

We’re looking for a Club Director to lead that place. If you believe great youth programs change lives, and you know how to build the team and systems that make them great, we’d love to meet you.

The role

As Club Director, you are the heartbeat of the Club. You own the daily experience for every member: the programs they join, the staff who guide them, the families and schools who trust us, and the building where it all happens.

You’ll turn our mission into measurable outcomes: kids reading better after Power Hour, members stepping up as leaders, staff growing in their careers, and more young people in our community finding their way to the Club. You’ll report to the Vice President of Programs and work alongside a team that cares as much as you do.

What you’ll do

Create a place where kids thrive

  • Lead all day-to-day youth programs across our four core areas: Academic Success & Career Readiness, Character & Leadership, Healthy Lifestyles & Recreation, and Arts.
  • Keep the Club safe, welcoming, and well-run, from facilities and equipment to supplies.
  • Champion Power Hour, our homework and tutoring time, so every member gets the academic support they need.
  • Grow Club membership so we reach more young people in our community.

Measure what matters and keep improving

  • Track participation, assessments, and outcomes for every program, and share progress with leadership.
  • Use member feedback from the National Youth Outcomes Initiative (NYOI) survey and quarterly enrichment surveys to make programs better.
  • Make sure grant-funded programs deliver on their promises.
  • Celebrate kids’ achievements through Youth of the Month, Youth of the Year, the National Art Competition, and championship tournaments.

Build and grow a great team

  • Train staff and volunteers in youth development best practices and BGCA program standards so every member gets a high-quality experience.
  • Create a positive, team-first culture where staff feel valued, supported, and proud of their work.
  • Set clear expectations and goals, and recognize staff when they go above and beyond.
  • Lead the team through special events and Club-wide activities, making sure everyone knows their role.
  • Recruit and keep great staff by making the Club a place people want to work and stay.

Be the Club’s voice in the community

  • Partner closely with the school’s principal, teachers, and staff so the Club supports what kids learn during the school day.
  • Meet monthly with the Principal and the Parent Faculty Club (PFC) President, and attend PFC meetings.
  • Build trusted relationships with parents, families, and community partners.
  • Spread the word about Club programs and events through schedules, flyers, mailers, and media.
  • Keep an eye out for donors, foundations, and grant opportunities, and connect them with our resource development team.

What you bring

You’re a leader who gets energy from kids, results, and people. You can run a tight operation and still make every member feel seen. Along with that, you bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree from an accredited college or university, or equivalent experience.
  • At least five years of experience in youth development, education, recreation, or nonprofit programs, including at least three years supervising staff.
  • At least two years overseeing a program site, school-based program, or multi-program operation, with responsibility for attendance, outcomes, and budget.
  • A track record of results you can point to: growing attendance, meeting program goals, and using data to make programs better.
  • Experience hiring, coaching, and developing staff and volunteers, including setting clear expectations and helping people improve.
  • A history of building strong relationships with principals, schools, families, and community partners.
  • Hands-on experience managing facilities, budgets, timesheets, and wage and hour compliance.
  • Clear, warm, professional communication, in writing and in person, with kids, families, staff, schools, and community partners. You represent the Club well in every interaction.
  • The ability to juggle priorities, meet deadlines, and solve problems independently.
  • Comfort with Microsoft Office, spreadsheets, and CRM or membership databases.
  • Fingerprint clearance, maintained throughout employment.
  • TB clearance before your start date, renewed every four years.
  • A valid driver’s license and an insurable driving record, so you can drive the Club van when needed.
  • The ability to stand, move, reach, and lift up to 20 lbs. throughout an active Club day.

Preferred

  • CPR and First Aid certification.
  • Experience with Boys & Girls Clubs of America programs and standards.
  • Experience with grant-funded programs and their reporting requirements.

Why you’ll love it here

  • Work that matters every single day. You’ll see the impact of your leadership in the kids who walk through our doors.
  • A team that has your back. You’ll have supportive leadership and colleagues united by one mission.
  • [Benefits: e.g., medical, dental, vision, paid time off, retirement plan]

If you’re excited to lead a Club where every kid has a place to belong and a path to a great future, we want to hear from you. Please submit your resume with a cover letter that shares why this mission matters to you and how your skills make you a strong fit for the role.
