About The Position

We're looking for an entrepreneurial leader who thrives at the intersection of innovation and execution. As Director of Auxiliary and Summer Programs, you'll shape the future of our auxiliary, summer, and experiential programs—building on what works, reimagining what doesn't, and creating new opportunities that serve our community while advancing our mission. This isn't a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. We need a strategic thinker who can see possibilities in our assets—our people, our facilities, our reputation—and turn that vision into thriving programs. You'll lead summer camps, after-school programs, facility rentals, and our campus store, while constantly asking: What else could we do? Who else could we serve?
