What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a Queens & Brooklyn Regional Program Manager to oversee a portfolio of 10–15 school sites in Queens and Brooklyn during the school year and lead a Brooklyn-based summer camp serving 100–150+ children. The start date for this role would be March 3, 2025.

This is a critical role within our organization as we expand our reach into more neighborhoods in the outer boroughs. We need a dynamic leader who can easily commute between sites to provide training, conduct observations, meet with school administration, and deliver on-site support for staff. This is a full-time, overtime-exempt role based in New York City and requires in-person work. Program Managers should expect to split their time between office work & meetings, site visits, site supervision, and other administrative tasks. 

As part of the Program Management team, the Regional Program Manager will play a key role in ensuring the success of our youth programs, which include recess and physical education classes, sports and enrichment activities, after-school programs, and summer camps across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. Reporting to one of two Program Directors, you will collaborate with a team of Program Managers and Program Coordinators to provide staff training and supervision, program design and scheduling support, parent communication and engagement initiatives, and deliver high-quality programs across New York City.

This role requires a hands-on leader with exceptional organizational, interpersonal, and leadership skills who thrives in diverse communities and a fast-paced environment. The ideal candidate has prior experience as a Camp Director for a day camp or residential camp for 2+ seasons, along with 3+ years of experience in multi-site management in youth development and education-based settings.
