Nonprofit leadership jobs in children and youth

Explore nonprofit leadership work within children and youth.

The work in this setting

Guide people through choices that affect the mission and the way work is done. Leadership can describe a skill used at many levels rather than a single occupational title, so the actual job function must remain visible.

What makes the sector matter

Work supporting children and young people can concern programs, education, family relationships, and the organization's operations. A leadership role should identify the participants and services it oversees.

Questions for this employer

Ask how program responsibility is divided, what preparation staff receive, and which specialists support decisions affecting participants. Ask what authority accompanies the title and how the role differs from an executive, director, or team manager in that organization.

Experience and responsibility

Describe a difficult decision, the people involved, and how you followed through after setting a direction. In this setting, connect that experience to the institution’s actual programs and relationships. Ask who provides the sector knowledge you need and which decisions you will be responsible for yourself. The intersection is narrower than either parent: an opening should fit both the function and the institutional setting, not just contain a familiar word.

The postings below are a conservative search of the current job list: the sector must appear in the employer or description, and the function must match the job title. They are related results, not a promise that every responsibility in this guide belongs to every listed role. Read the full description and the employer’s stated requirements before applying.
