Executive director Jobs in Lynn ma

Organization Overview : A Faith That Does Justice is an interfaith organization that challenges people to experience God by living their faith intentionally in service to others. We do this by showing how unjust societal structures marginalize people and by acting to help those in need. Inspired at its origins by Catholic teachings on social justice and commitment to uplifting the vulnerable, A Faith That Does Justice embraces a vision whereby people intentionally live out their faith by putting religiously grounded principles into action. We currently engage 32 volunteers, teach English to more than 100 ESOL students annually, and provide more than 70 Grab & Go meals each Tuesday to people experiencing food insecurity.

Role Overview : We are seeking a visionary, charismatic leader whose commitment to social justice flows naturally from their own values or faith tradition, and who inspires others to live our mission of putting faith into action. Reporting to the Board of Directors (6 volunteers), the Executive Director will guide our strategic direction, operational management, and programmatic efforts, and ensure our mission is fully realized with meaningful positive impact in our community.

Key Responsibilities :

• Engage with our community, including volunteers, donors, and those we serve.
• Connect and engage with the diverse populations we serve, including ESOL students and teachers; grab & go meal recipients; and members of our weekly gathering for Spanish speakers.
• Communicate our mission and vision to key stakeholders—donors, volunteers, community partners, and the media—in ways that inspire engagement and support, emphasizing the core principle of living a faith that does justice.
• Collaborate with Director of Advancement to engage a wide donor network, through personal engagement with donors, building ‘brand awareness’, and fundraising events, both in person and virtually.
