About Us
The JakeyMac Foundation is a dynamic 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to transforming youth education through innovative, screen-free, audio-first gamified learning, team competitions, and vital career prep. We bridge the gaps left by teaching the critical life skills that schools don’t teach, by equipping underserved and under-resourced youth with high-paying STEM career pathways, critical problem-solving, resilience, leadership, and essential life safety skills.
Role Overview
We are seeking a passionate and visionary Program Manager / Director to design, implement, and evaluate the core educational programs that bring our mission to life. This role delivers our organization's core mission. No matter how much funding you raise, if the programs aren't impactful, well-organized, and measurable, a nonprofit loses its purpose and credibility. In this role, you will ensure our youth initiatives create lasting, data-driven transformation.
Key Responsibilities
- Program Design & Curriculum Oversight: Lead the development, refinement, and scaling of our screen-free, audio-first learning modules and gamified motorsports workshops.
- Implementation & Logistics: Coordinate youth outreach, community partnerships, and workshop execution (virtual and in-person as applicable).
- Impact Measurement & Evaluation: Establish clear metrics, track student progress, and analyze outcomes to prove program effectiveness to donors and stakeholders.
- Team & Volunteer Coordination: Guide mentors, educators, and volunteers participating in program delivery.
Qualifications & Skills
- Experience in education, youth program management, curriculum development, or nonprofit program administration.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to turn ideas into structured, repeatable workflows.
- Excellent communication and leadership skills with a deep empathy for youth development.
- A fierce passion for alternative education models and closing opportunity gaps for under-resourced youth.
What You Will Gain
- Direct Impact Leadership: Take the reins of program development and directly shape the educational journeys of the next generation.
- Portfolio & Credibility: Build and scale a high-impact curriculum portfolio within a growing 501(c)(3) organization.
- Flexibility: A remote, project-based volunteer role designed to fit your schedule.
