Serve Learn Earn Director

Serve Learn Earn a workforce development collaboration among four nonprofits – Vermont Youth Conservation Corps, ReSOURCE, Audubon Vermont, and Vermont Works for Women – is seeking a Director who is passionate about workforce development and is skilled in partnerships and securing funding.

Program Overview:

Serve Learn Earn (SLE) is a workforce development collaboration among four nonprofits – Vermont Youth Conservation Corps (VYCC), ReSOURCE, Audubon Vermont, and Vermont Works for Women – dedicated to enhancing, and increasing the number of, paid service opportunities in Vermont. We believe that paid training and service experiences in housing, food security, conservation, and workforce trades offer a supportive community to participants, provide clear and accessible career pathways, and are an essential economic strategy for Vermont.

SLE partners currently enroll over 600 participants throughout Vermont each year. Though complementary, the participant demographics, locations, duration, and learning outcomes of each organizations’ programs differ. These differences are a foundational strength, allowing SLE to reach a broad swath of Vermont communities. A successful SLE Director will work with staff across four organizations to promote these distinct programs as well as weave a cohesive vision and narrative for our collective impact.

Now in our fifth year of formal collaboration, and at a moment of transition, we seek an experienced and innovative leader to sustain and grow the collaborative. A successful SLE Director will be passionate about workforce development and service programs, skilled at building partnerships and securing funding, and able to lead the team in creating a 2-3 year roadmap with clear priorities and goals.

The Serve Learn Earn Director will be an employee of VYCC and report to the Serve Learn Earn Executive Committee, consisting of the executive directors from each of the four partner organizations and senior staff members.
