Job Description
Position Title: Playroom Manager
Department: Children & Family Services
Reports to: Senior Program Manager of Parent & Child Education
Location: 1757 Waller Street, San Francisco, CA 94117
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
Safe & Sound is a children's advocacy organization working to prevent child abuse and
reduce its devastating impact on the child, their family, and our entire community.
We have been a pioneer in the field of child abuse prevention, working within San
Francisco for more than 50 years. Recently, the organization has begun to expand its
impact working throughout the state of California.
Child maltreatment is a complex problem, but a preventable one. Our data-informed
approach leverages three primary strategies: we empower children with knowledge
and confidence; we support families providing resources and skills; we activate the
community and the change-makers within it to create a thriving social safety net for
children and their families.
The organization has an annual operating budget of approximately $15.4 million and is
supported by approximately 70 staff, interns, and more than 80 volunteers. Safe &
Sound headquarters is located in a historic firehouse in the Haight-Ashbury
neighborhood of San Francisco, with a second office in the Bayview neighborhood.
Safe & Sound recently merged with The Center for Youth Wellness (CYW), a national
leader in the effort to advance pediatric medicine, raise public awareness, and
transform the way society responds to children exposed to Adverse Childhood
Experiences (ACEs). Founded by California's first Surgeon General Dr. Nadine Burke
Harris, CYW has created a national call to screen, treat, and heal ACEs and toxic stress.
