OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRAMS AND YOUTH
|
|
|
|
Millions of professionals and volunteers work with young people every day in the many settings where youth play, learn, and grow outside of the school day. Yet, we have little collective information about this essential workforce. We want to know more about those who are still in the youth fields and those who left, so that we can explore, define, and elevate this collective workforce and their work with youth.

We are looking to fill 10-12 Full-Time Positions to focus on Nevada out-of-school time (OST) programs by working with key partners to develop, lead, coordinate, and drive collaboration, quality, and advocacy initiatives. These are temporary, grant-funded positions.
