Program Manager

Background and Position Overview

Beyond Bedtime (formerly Pajama Program) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit that was founded in 2001. Our mission is to help children discover and experience the superpower of sleep, so they can wake up ready to thrive. We believe that a comforting bedtime routine and healthy sleep are the foundation for brighter days and stronger futures.

Rooted in our core values of equity, impact, and community, we focus on reaching children experiencing poverty in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. We do this by:

• • Distributing new pajamas and storybooks through more than 1,350 community-based partners, including shelters, foster care agencies, Head Start programs, and Title I schools.
  • Engaging a national network of volunteer Chapter Presidents to help coordinate local donations and outreach.
  • Welcoming children to our Centers in New York City and Atlanta, both in-person and virtually, for hands-on experiences.
  • Delivering sleep health education programs to children, caregivers, and educators.

About Our Programs

Our research-based programs at Beyond Bedtime fall into two major categories:

1) Education Programs - professional development sessions for educators (in 3K and PreK title 1 schools or Head Start programs) and workshops presented directly to students (primarily in grades K-3)

2) Family Resource Programs - professional development sessions for staff members who support parents and caregivers (family engagement staff, case managers, or social workers), as well as an array of workshops intended to reach parents directly across a variety of settings (including public schools, human service providers, community-based organizations, and foster care agencies)

About the Role

The Atlanta Program Manager oversees Beyond Bedtime programs hosted at the Atlanta Center or shared in local Atlanta schools, community-based organizations, or other community settings as needed. This role is responsible for facilitating both in-person and virtual programs, managing school and partner relationships, and ensuring the effective delivery of Beyond Bedtime’s sleep health education programs throughout the Atlanta area.

This is a part-time position (not to exceed 30 hours per week). Schedule may vary based on program needs and may require evening and weekend work. This role has the potential to grow beyond part-time work provided the organization secures funding.
