About The Position

THE OPPORTUNITY Women facing unplanned pregnancies deserve real resources and real support. As Executive Director, you will lead an organization dedicated to making that vision a reality. You'll expand FFL's reach to women most at risk, grow our donor base, and bring innovation to how we educate and advocate, including leveraging AI to multiply our impact. This role is for a leader who turns mission into action. ABOUT FEMINISTS FOR LIFE Founded in 1972, Feminists for Life is a nonsectarian, nonpartisan organization that doesn't just talk about change; we create it. Guided by the feminist values of justice, nondiscrimination, and nonviolence, we are dedicated to eliminating the root causes that drive women to abortion, primarily lack of resources and support. We envision a world where no woman is forced to choose between her future and her child. Our Pregnancy Resource Forums transformed campus support nationwide. Our College Outreach Program helped drive a 30% decrease in abortions among college-educated women. And our rallying cry, 'Women Deserve Better(R) than Abortion,' has become one of the most recognized phrases in the movement. Ready to shape what's next? Keep reading.
