National Center for Youth Law
The National Center for Youth Law (NCYL) amplifies youth power,
dismantles racism and other structural inequities, and builds just
policies, practices, and culture in support of young people. Our
efforts advance justice through research, community collaboration,
impact litigation, and policy advocacy that fundamentally
transforms our nation's approach to education, health, immigration,
foster care, and youth justice. Our vision is a world in which
every young person thrives and has a full and fair opportunity to
achieve the future they envision for themselves.
Development Team
The Development Team's mission is to ensure that NCYL has the
financial resources needed to pursue its mission and vision, and to
uphold NCYL's inclusive, youth-centered, strengths-based, and
equity-focused values in all fundraising efforts and activities.
NCYL's Development Team is raising $20M+ annually from foundations,
government agencies, corporations, law firms, and individuals. We
inspire NCYL supporters and educate them about NCYL's values,
impact, and work and build community and nurture strong
relationships among NCYL board members, staff, alumni, and
supporters through fundraising efforts.
Position
This is an excellent opportunity for someone to leverage their
fundraising experience and abilities to improve the lives of
children, including immigrants, LGBTQIA youth, those in the child
welfare or justice systems, children and their families who are
experiencing homelessness, and much more. This position will report
to the Senior Philanthropy Director.

Senior Director of Communications on strategic messaging and
digital fundraising and to raise the organization's
profile.

Salary,
Benefits, and Location
This is a
full-time, exempt position with a competitive salary of $163,379.00
annually. A geographic salary differential may be applied if the
candidate resides somewhere other than the Oakland, CA, Los
Angeles, CA, New York City, or Washington, DC metro areas. This
means that the salary would be reduced if the candidate resides in
an area where the cost of labor is less than that of the San
Francisco Bay Area.
NCYL provides a
robust benefits package including health, dental, vision, and life
insurances, generous vacation and sick benefits, paid family leave,
flexible spending account, employer contribution to a retirement
plan, paid sabbatical, and short-term and long-term disability
insurance.
There is
a strong preference for candidates to reside in the Oakland, CA,
Los Angeles, CA, New York City, or Washington, DC metro
areas.
NCYL is
registered to do business in the following 13 locations: Arizona,
California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New York, Oregon, Virginia, Washington, DC, and
Wisconsin. If a candidate is hired but lives in a state where NCYL
is not currently registered to do business, their start date may
need to be delayed until registration can be completed in the new
state. This process may take as much as three months to
complete.
It is anticipated but not guaranteed that NCYL's remote work
approach will be in place through 2026. If this policy is revoked
prior to 2026, staff will be given at least one year's notice
before being recalled to a NCYL office.
All positions at NCYL are at-will and paid for by grants and
donations, thus employment with NCYL will be contingent upon
continued receipt of funding. Nothing in the statement changes the
at-will employment relationship.
