About The Position

As the Director of Community Outreach at Mansfield Hall, you will help neurodivergent young adults build confidence, independence, and real-world skills through community engagement, service learning, internships, employment support, and career exploration.

They are learning how to navigate adulthood, including professional communication, follow-through, time management, workplace readiness, social confidence, and meaningful community involvement. This role is about more than placing students in activities. Community engagement is where students practice showing up, communicating clearly, solving problems, contributing to others, and beginning to see themselves as capable adults.
