● Partner with CEO, HR, and program directors to enhance employee engagement and retention through recognition, planning events and celebrations, establishing feedback loops, and mission-driven culture building.

Legislative Advocacy (30%)

● Monitor state and federal policy developments related to child welfare, foster care, behavioral health, and emergency services.

● Develop strong working relationships with elected officials, legislative staff, and policy partners.

● Organize advocacy days, legislative briefings, legislative tours and opportunities for staff and board engagement in public policy in collaboration with the CEO and other leaders.

● Equip staff, youth, and community supporters to elevate their voices through tools like action alerts, storytelling campaigns, and letter-writing efforts.
