The SNAP Leadership Program, in partnership with the St. Joseph County Juvenile Justice Center, is an initiative targeting youth whom the system is currently failing. This program is a net that aims to catch these kids and come alongside their parents and families to focus on one key component: violence prevention among the youth in our community. Five Star Life’s goal is to scale this program into additional detention centers across the country. The SNAP Leadership Program Director is responsible for all development, preparation, and successful implementation of all aspects of the SNAP Leadership Program. This role includes volunteer and staff recruitment, training, and care, as well as event development and implementation. This individual, in partnership with FSL staff, will also be charged with scaling the program. In addition, this role requires impeccable data collection skills and tracking. Must be a true servant leader who lives by the FSL Core Values and a problem solver, always looking for solutions.
