Kate’s Club’s vision is to create a world in which it’s okay to grieve, and we want you to join us in this work. We are a community for children, families, and young adults experiencing the death of someone important to them. The organization brings people together around grief, creating safe - both in-person and online - educational, recreational and therapeutic spaces designed to help everyone express the emotions that come with such a loss. We are looking for a leader for our Clubhouse programs in Metro Atlanta and you might be the right fit.
Are you the person everyone looks to for guidance?
We are seeking an action-oriented, empathetic leader who can drive volunteers and contractors to create a fantastic experience for our member families. As Metro Atlanta Clubhouse and Program Manager, you will lead our efforts to deliver programs at our Brookhaven location, planning activities and working with contractors to deliver our services. No detail is too small for you to oversee, from the physical set up of the Clubhouse to leading the welcome circle to greeting caregivers and families as they walk through our doors. You’ll lead our Camp Good Mourning programs with the support of the team, and help to bring member families through the application process to Kate’s Club.
