About Bridges Reentry

Every woman deserves a real chance to come home. Bridges Reentry exists to make that chance real. Walking alongside women returning from incarceration as they rebuild their lives with stability, dignity, and hope. We are a small organization with a large heart, a deep community presence, and an ambitious vision for what's possible. And we're growing.

 The Opportunity

We are searching for our first Executive Director — a seasoned, mission-driven leader ready to step into a role that is both deeply meaningful and genuinely complex. You'll lead strategy, people, operations, and impact, reporting directly to the Board of Directors. You'll also work alongside our Founder, who is transitioning into a senior advisory role, making space for you to lead with full operational authority.

 This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of an organization that is already changing lives and to do it from a position of real leadership, not a committee of one.

What You'll Do

     Lead organizational vision, strategy, and long-term growth

     Serve as the primary liaison to the Board of Directors; implement board-approved plans

     Hire, develop, and lead senior staff; build a culture of accountability and belonging

     Oversee programs, operations, compliance, and organizational infrastructure

     Manage budgeting, financial reporting, and long-term sustainability planning

     Drive fundraising strategy, donor cultivation, and grant development

     Represent Bridges Reentry publicly and build strong community and government partnerships
