ABOUT NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR

Neighbor to Neighbor (N2N) is a faith-based nonprofit committed to serving kids and families in our city. At the center of our work is an afterschool mentoring program that pairs 150 students with 275 volunteer mentors — showing up consistently, building real relationships, and walking alongside young people over time. We believe proximity changes everything, and our four core values — Proximity, Transgressive Love, Grit, and Joy — shape how we do the work every day.

THE POSITION

This is a new seat, built because our program has grown to the point where we need someone who can hold the operational and relational weight of our downtown site with real ownership. You will work directly under our Youth Pathways Director and serve all students at downtown — with particular investment in 6th–12th graders, where intentional programming and consistent adult presence matter most.

This is not an entry-level role. We are looking for someone who has run something before — a program, a team, a ministry — and knows what it means to own outcomes rather than just execute tasks. You will also be one of the primary relational anchors for families at our downtown site.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

Site Lead

You own the culture and day-to-day environment of the downtown site. You set the tone for students, staff, and volunteers. You are the go-to person when something goes wrong, someone needs direction, or a decision needs to be made on the ground. You bring calm with you rather than needing it handed to you.

Transportation

You manage all transportation logistics — daily routes, driver scheduling, and van operations — and supervise a team of 3–4 part-time drivers. Transportation is often unglamorous and frequently unpredictable. You own it without complaint.

Enrichment Execution

You coordinate and run enrichment programming for 6th–12th graders, securing outside partners, scheduling programming, and ensuring it is consistent, well-attended, and aligned with N2N values. The goal is not activities for the sake of it — it is programming that deepens student investment in the program and in their own development.

Teen Jobs (On Site)

You oversee the on-site teen jobs program — scheduling, accountability, and day-to-day supervision of students in work roles. You ensure this is a genuine developmental experience that builds responsibility and dignity, not just task completion.

Teen Relationships

You are the relational anchor for middle and high schoolers at downtown. You know students by name, know their situations, and show up for them consistently. This is not a secondary responsibility — it is the foundation everything else is built on.

Volunteer Coordination and Management

You recruit, schedule, and manage volunteers across enrichment programming and on-site support, including YoungLife leaders, work-study students, and outside program partners. You are responsible for volunteers feeling supported, aligned with N2N culture, and clear on expectations — and for holding them accountable when they are not.

WHO YOU ARE

You have led or run something with real ownership — a program, a ministry, a team — and you know what it means to be accountable for outcomes.

Your faith is not incidental to your work. You lead from it, and it shapes how you show up.

You are especially gifted with middle and high schoolers — you understand that age and lean into it rather than manage it from a distance.

You create order without needing it. You can hold structure in environments that do not hand it to you.

You develop people — even part-time ones, even on hard days.

You are gritty. You show up when it is hard, unglamorous, and behind schedule — because the students need you to.

A WORD ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

Afterschool youth work is not a controlled environment. Schedules shift, students are unpredictable, and the adults around you are often stretched thin. The person who will thrive in this role is not someone who needs calm to function — it is someone who brings calm with them. You will be expected to hold structure, culture, and relational warmth on days when none of those things come easy.

If that sounds like the kind of work you were made for, we want to talk.
