ORGANIZATION SUMMARY

Crossroads Campus is a Nashville-based 501(c)(3) founded in 2010. We educate and empower people to take care of their pets, find loving homes for dogs and cats, and offer affordable housing and job training for vulnerable young adults ages 18-25. Our core values guide every aspect of our work:

● I respect the uniqueness of everyone I interact with. I am responsible for my actions and am guided by grace and compassion.

● As members of a team, we build trust and a community of belonging where everyone’s strengths are recognized, boundaries are protected, and a sense of safety is ever present.

● We persevere and strive for excellence as an organization. Recognizing the importance of accountability, learning, and reliability in our work.

This position provides direct supervision for our Animal Care and Adoptions staff and ensures alignment between animal welfare operations and the organization's humane education and job training mission.

Additionally, the Director will lead the future development of a dog training social enterprise to provide training support for pet fosters and adopters while enhancing job skills training for program participants.

Candidates with a background in animal behavior and training who are passionate about humane education and enjoy coaching and mentoring young adults are strongly encouraged to apply.
