• Support multiple program locations by overseeing staffing, scheduling, curriculum implementation, and daily operations.
• Build meaningful relationships with families, schools, and community partners to strengthen collaboration and create exceptional participant experiences.
• Drive program growth by monitoring enrollment, identifying opportunities to expand services, and continuously improving program quality.
• Manage the details that matter by overseeing budgets, staff certifications, registrations, billing, inventory, and compliance with YMCA and regulatory standards.
• Coordinate special events and community engagement opportunities that bring families together and showcase the YMCA's impact.
• Ensure safe, welcoming environments by supporting emergency preparedness, maintaining quality facilities, and addressing safety concerns promptly.
• End the day knowing your leadership made a difference, whether it was mentoring a staff member, supporting a family, solving an operational challenge, or helping a child have an exceptional experience.
