It might be the best decision you make this year.

 

 

Essential Functions:

 

  • Provide overall leadership for program operations, ensuring alignment with both DJJ and New Hope priorities.

Leadership Expectations

  • You should be delegating, not dumping, and empowering others around you for future leadership opportunities
  • Always be succession planning
  • Set the tone for a culture of excellence and trauma-informed care
  • We measure leaders by outcomes, not outputs. We don’t value how many hours a leader clocks, only how much impact they make.
