At Fundamentals, leadership isn't just about managing a program, it's about creating an environment where youth and staff can succeed.
As a Site Coordinator/Program Lead, you'll help lead daily program operations, support your team, engage directly with youth, and make sure the program is safe, structured, and running smoothly.
You'll be a hands-on leader who helps turn the vision of the program into what students and staff experience every day.

What Makes This Work Different?
As a Site Coordinator/Program Lead, you're not sitting in an office managing from a distance. You're part of the day-to-day experience.
You might coach a staff member through a challenging situation, help a youth work through a difficult moment, lead a team meeting, troubleshoot a scheduling issue, or jump into an activity with the group.
Your leadership helps create the consistency, structure, and relationships that allow both youth and staff to succeed.
