Area Director, Missouri

GO Project•St. Louis, MO

About The Position

You believe that people want to come together to care for the most vulnerable, yet they struggle to know who to help and how to connect. You know that children shouldn't pay the highest price when families face extreme hardships, and you want to see the Church and the Community come together to care together. Colleagues would describe you as a steadfast organizational leader with a strategic mind, a compassionate heart, and a strong bias for action—a coalition builder committed to listening and facilitating unity (meaning concerted activity, not uniformity). Your ability to lead teams with clarity and humility while building relational partnerships to achieve measurable results allows you to be a positive agent for change. CarePortal is Care-Sharing technology that drives action for local kids and families in crisis. We subscribe to the vision that through the Church and Community, there can be More Than Enough care for every child through the power of Care-Sharing in local communities before, during, and beyond foster care. The goal is transformation from child welfare to family well-being in the lives of hurting children/families, the Church, and the Community. We develop and mobilize robust Care-Sharing Networks and lead with Courage, Humility, and Excellence. We do this through the local Church and in concert with child-serving organizations, businesses, and people who care - that’s where you come in. POSITION SUMMARY Area Director—Central Missouri In this full-time role, you have a strong desire to see the strengthening and empowerment of the local children and families in your area, and you’re ready to lead and mobilize the CarePortal network in Missouri one meaningful connection at a time. You’re goal-oriented, a self-starter, a creative problem-solver, and are committed to driving inspiration into action. You feel passionate about bridging the gap between child-serving organizations, the Church, and business leaders to see transformation in your state–you’re energized by the opportunity to deepen and expand their impact by working together. You bring expertise in community engagement, networking, and fundraising and have the tenacity to both effectively cast the vision and develop the networks and resources needed to sustain it. You’re a leader that finds joy in cultivating a new market from the pilot phase and growing it to maturity. This position’s responsibilities will change as the area grows--from being boots on the ground to leading the area. At CarePortal, we believe that children belong in the care of healthy, loving families and that families should be supported by a local church and caring members of their community. If you are ready to put your expertise to work for a mission you care deeply about, then join us, and let’s get started as we go all out to close the front door of the foster care system in Missouri and beyond.
