Program Director (Full-Time), HomeWorks Trenton

Posted by HomeWorks Trenton on August 6, 2024

HomeWorks Trenton, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that runs a free, community-based, after school residential program for Black and Brown high school girls in Trenton, New Jersey. We provide a space where Black and Brown girls can authentically express themselves while developing academic and social-emotional tools to thrive despite living in a systemically unjust society.

Our scholars live in the HomeWorks house from Sunday evenings to Friday mornings and are transported to and from their Trenton Public Schools every day to ensure timeliness. After school, scholars engage in daily activities focused on academics and identity-driven leadership, eat a family-style meal, and stay overnight in our dorm with two full-time staff members. Our HomeWorks model decreases chronic absenteeism and improves scholars’ academic performance and social-emotional skills while celebrating the power of Black and Brown sisterhood. By providing a space to explore and define their experiences, cultures, and identities, HomeWorks offers our scholars a chance to see that their ideas, visions, and presence are valid and relevant in this world.

The Program Director will work alongside the Administrative and House Teams to execute HomeWorks’ smooth programming and marketing efforts. This role will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of program operations, including programming activities, curriculum development, house staff management, scholar recruitment, volunteer and intern management and community outreach, as well as coordinating marketing efforts that highlight the work and talents of our incredible scholars and organization.

Start Date: August 2024
