Oakland, United States Family Bridges, Inc. Full time

Family Bridges, Inc. is a multi-service health and human services non-profit organization that has been serving the Asian American Pacific Islander community in East Bay for over 50 years. We serve approximately 10,000 clients annually, principally non-English monolingual and LEP-speaking moderate-to-low-income East Bay residents. Our programs include Community-Based Adult Services Centers, Senior Centers, a Friendly Visitors program, a Social Services program, a Child Care Center, an emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness, and a public safety mediator program.


Family Bridges empowers the most vulnerable—the young, the elderly, immigrants, the houseless, and those formerly incarcerated—to lead self-sufficient, independent lives. Our services are open to people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. Our historical core competency has been serving Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islanders (AANHPI). Most Family Bridges staff members and volunteers have multilingual language capacity in Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Hmong, or Laotian.

Strong business acumen and aptitude for innovation will be essential in partnering with the board to develop and drive strategies that develop growth, serve community needs, and diversify the organization’s revenue stream.


The CEO will manage an experienced and tenured senior leadership team. The CEO will be someone who has unquestioned integrity, a long-term perspective, a strong sense of accountability, practical ability to get things done, wisdom and good judgment, and a fair and thoughtful approach to management, combined with the flexibility and courage to shift direction and experiment with new initiatives; excellent verbal and written communication skills; and a high energy level and sense of humor. Our ideal candidate will have knowledge and experience of our community and the East Bay Area and will adhere to our core competencies and cultural sensitivity, focusing on what Family Bridges does well.
