Chief Executive Officer - Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills

An exciting opportunity to lead the growing Boys & Girls Club of the Sandhills (BGCS) is open, and we are looking for our next Chief Executive Officer to make a positive impact on kids’ lives. We’re seeking candidates who will lead the overall planning and operation of the organization – while providing leadership, direction, and support to the Board of Directors. You will be responsible for bringing the organization’s mission to life, as you work to ensure that kids and teens achieve great futures by delivering a safe and fun space, creating an engaging Club experience, and managing caring professionals to guide them along
the way.

As a powerful testament, an astounding 54% of national Club alumni have expressed that the Club has had a life-altering impact on them. This highlights the incredible opportunity that awaits you and your team to make a transformative difference in the lives of our youth, which will undoubtedly bring about profound and lasting changes.

The ambition for the future of the organization is to be able to increase BGCS’s positive impact in the Sandhills area. One way to achieve that is to increase the number of youths served. Improving program efficacy is another way. Some combination of the two is the likely strategy for success. The new CEO will be tasked with setting the vision, garnering the community’s support, and harnessing the resources to achieve this two-fold impact improvement.
