E.D. Position Opening at Greater Old Town CTC!

Greater Old Town Communities That Care (GOT CTC) seeks a highly-motivated, resourceful and communicative Executive Director (ED) to (1) lead us in building on the successes of our documented, evidence-based youth substance abuse prevention programs; and (2) simultaneously assume the duties of a federally-funded Drug Free Communities (DFC) Mentoring grant position designed to ready us over the next 18 months for a successful 2012 DFC grant application.

Reporting to the board of directors, our new ED will provide executive leadership to GOT CTC, manage its day-to-day affairs and allocate 50% of her/his time to the duties of the DFC Mentoring grant coordinator, collaborating closely with a sister organization to learn the CTC method, engage in wide-ranging community outreach, education and alliance-building, collection and analysis of data and management of an expanded community prevention plan.

GOT CTC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Old Town, Maine, incorporated in 2007 and governed by an 8-person board of directors.  In addition to an ED, GOT CTC employs staff consisting of a part-time coordinator for our core programs: Life Skills Training (middle school level) and Tutoring (individualized, middle school level)

Our new ED will assume leadership during a period of potentially dramatic growth at an inflection point in GOT CTC’s future.  Priorities for the next 18 months include:

*Strengthen our near-term ability to maintain and enhance our programs into the 2011-2012 academic year with the fidelity required to produce positive results for youth.

*Foster continued development of our board and organizational infrastructure.

*Take full advantage of our DFC Mentoring grant opportunities.

*Forge a strategic direction for our longer-term effectiveness and sustainability.

*Significantly enhance our fundraising capabilities – particularly through grantwriting – including, but not limited to, a successful March 2012 DFC grant application.
