Description

Who We Are

Foster America envisions a society in which all children and families thrive. In partnership with communities across the country, we are working towards a future in which resources for children and families are expanded, the child welfare system as we know it today is smaller, and the national model for child and family well-being systems equitably and compassionately serves children and families. Our mission is to transform systems that serve children, youth and families by catalyzing changemakers, amplifying knowledge, and innovating for a more just, equitable future. We aim to bring capacity, knowledge, and resources to power innovations, strengthen families, and transform our country's approach to child welfare and child protection.

Our work spans three pillars:

Changemakers: We seek out, support and build a network of talent — both in and beyond the child welfare field — with the determination and imagination to drive transformational change
Knowledge: Working within and across communities, we actively listen and learn so we can share and scale knowledge - serving as a hub for ideas, relationship-building, technical know-how and alignment of efforts
Innovation: Together, we're generating and amplifying innovative ideas and equitable solutions that center community and cross-sector engagement, advance financial and policy reform, and build continuous learning — advancing well-being for all children and families.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are currently in search of a Program Team Manager to provide vital support to the leadership within the Foster America Program team.

Additionally, the team works on Jurisdiction Engagements, which typically involve longer-term collaborations lasting 2-3 years, aimed at affecting meaningful change within child welfare systems. Furthermore, the Program Team is engaged in Knowledge Development efforts, focusing on capturing and disseminating valuable insights and learnings gleaned from program activities. Lastly, a significant aspect of the team's work involves developing changemakers, investing in the professional growth and development of child welfare leaders and individuals committed to transforming child welfare systems. The Program Team Coordinator will play a crucial role in supporting these multifaceted endeavors, contributing to the team's overall effectiveness and impact in driving positive change within the child welfare landscape.
