Director, Change The Story

1 week ago

Los Altos, United States Los Altos United Methodist Church Full time

**Job Summary**:
There are two realities: there are young adults that are passionate about creating social change and there are underutilized community resources housed in religious organizations that can fuel that change. Change the Story empowers young adults' visions for change by connecting them with untapped resources and providing funding for their projects. This is a program of The Changemaker Initiative (TCI), out of Los Altos United Methodist Church, and is funded by a Lilly Endowment grant through December 31, 2026.

As the Director for Change the Story, your responsibilities are diverse and dynamic, focusing on both organizational leadership and programmatic execution, in collaboration with staff of The Changemaker Initiative. As this work is very relational and collaborative in nature with many local groups and individuals, it is an in-person position in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Here's a breakdown of what you might be tasked with:

- **Strategic Planning**: Develop and refine the program's strategic direction in alignment with the organization's mission and goals and identified community needs.
- **Recruitment**: Devise, execute, and refine methods to recruit diverse young adults (stipulated as ages 23-29) and faith communities for participation in the program. As this is mainly relational in nature, engage real-time in spaces where either young adults or faith leaders are already gathering.
- **Community Building**: Foster and maintain relationships with diverse community stakeholders, including young adults, religious organizations, local leaders, and other nonprofits. Facilitate dialogue, solicit feedback, and foster collaboration among those participating, especially nurturing the group of young adults before, during, and after the program.
- **Program Execution and Revision**: Through collaborative facilitation, coaching, and delegation, carry out the program content with young adults and faith communities. Collaborate with the TCI team, program participants, and other stakeholders as appropriate to revise and enhance existing programs or develop new initiatives that effectively ensure programs are responsive to evolving needs and trends.
- **Capacity Building**: Provide training, mentorship, and resources to empower young adults to develop their leadership skills, project management abilities, and capacity for social innovation. Support participants in navigating challenges and leveraging community resources effectively. Guide faith communities to new insights and learning through the process.
- **Monitoring and Evaluation**: Establish robust systems for monitoring program outcomes and evaluating impact. Collect data, analyze results, and use findings to inform programmatic decisions, improve effectiveness, and demonstrate accountability and impact to stakeholders.
- **Advocacy and Outreach**: Represent the organization and program externally to raise awareness, increase visibility, expand credibility, and mobilize support for the program’s mission and goals. Coordinate communication and marketing about the program's aims and accomplishments both internally and externally.
- **Compliance, Budgeting, and Reporting**: Ensure compliance with relevant funding requirements. Oversee and manage the program budget. Prepare regular reports for stakeholders and funders to document progress, achievements, and challenges.
- **Continuous Improvement**: Continually assess program effectiveness and identify opportunities for innovation and improvement. Stay informed about emerging trends, best practices, and lessons learned in the fields of young adult spirituality, young adult development, community organizing, social impact, faith community culture, church trauma, intergenerational relationships, and faith community engagement.
- **Broader organizational mission**: Engage with TCI team members to identify opportunities for synergy and alignment with other programs, promoting a cohesive and integrated approach across TCI programs.

**Qualifications**:

- Willingness to experiment, collaborate, and learn from others
- Leadership experience, including managing teams and mentoring individuals, either in a staff or volunteer capacity
- Openness to considering new partnerships, models, and goals connecting young adults and religious institutions
- Highly value diversity, equity, and inclusivity
- Experience as group facilitator, either paid or volunteer
- Deep concern for social justice inequities, balanced by a realization that it takes collaboration and teamwork to effect meaningful change
- Experience in community organizing, either in a staff or volunteer capacity
- **Bachelor’s degree (preferred)
- Physically located in the San Francisco Bay Area with ability to work in-person in The Changemaker Initiative office as well as independently travel to local venues and spaces for promotion and meeting with active and potential participants
- Local experience in Silicon Valley (with community organizi
