Executive Director (Hybrid), The Arthur Project

Posted by The Arthur Project on November 17, 2026

The Arthur Project (TAP) is a youth mentoring nonprofit redefining what mentoring can look like for middle school age students and their families. Through a clinically informed, relationship-based model, TAP partners with public schools to provide high-dosage therapeutic mentoring delivered by graduate social work students and supported by licensed clinical professionals.

TAP combines evidence-informed practice, youth-centered programming, family engagement, and advocacy to promote youth mental health, emotional wellness, academic engagement, and positive youth development. Having grown from one school serving 24 students to a multi-site organization serving hundreds of students and families in NYC, TAP is now bringing its model to Philadelphia.

Position Overview

The Executive Director leads the implementation of organizational strategy within a designated geographic region, ensuring operational excellence, program quality, community engagement, and sustainable organizational growth. The Philadelphia Executive Director translates national strategic priorities into actionable regional plans while ensuring alignment with The Arthur Project’s mission, values, and program model.

This is a unique opportunity to lead the launch of The Arthur Project’s pilot Philadelphia program and establish the foundation for the organization’s long-term presence and growth in the region. Unlike a traditional regional oversight position, this role will involve significant program development, implementation, and community-based relationship building. The Executive Director will be responsible for translating TAP’s established therapeutic mentoring model into a successful Philadelphia-based program, from initial relationship-building and program planning through implementation, launch, and ongoing evaluation. Over time, the Philadelphia Executive Director will oversee further replication within the Philadelphia area.
