The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity to lead the growing Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northern Neck (BGCNN) 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 area kids and teens achieve great futures by delivering a safe and fun space, creating an engaging and enriching 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 profound and transformative difference in the lives of our youth and strengthen the fabric of our community.

The ambition for the future of the organization is to be able to increase BGCNN’s positive impact in the Northern Neck 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 helping the Board to set the vision, garnering the community’s support, and harnessing the resources to achieve this two-fold impact improvement.
