Senior Director of Family and Community Programs

Reporting to the Executive Director, the Senior Director of Family & Community Programs provides strategic and operational leadership for Family Nurturing Center’s family engagement, early childhood, coalition, and community-based program portfolio. This position is responsible for ensuring high-quality, family-centered services that strengthen children, families, and communities while advancing FNC’s mission, values, and commitment to equitable, culturally responsive practice.

The Senior Director leads the implementation, coordination, and continuous improvement of community-based programs across multiple sites, ensuring strong program quality, effective leadership, meaningful family engagement, and responsive community partnerships. Recognizing that many members of FNC’s workforce bring lived experience as parents, caregivers, former program participants, or community leaders, the Senior Director creates an environment that values those experiences while investing in staff development through clear systems, coaching, mentoring, and opportunities for professional growth.

Working collaboratively across the organization and with community partners, the Senior Director helps strengthen FNC’s presence in the communities it serves by building sustainable partnerships, expanding access to services, and ensuring programs evolve to meet the changing needs of children, families, and neighborhoods.

The Senior Director of Parenting Education & Training serves as a strategic member of Family Nurturing Center’s Executive Leadership Team and is responsible for leading the organization’s parenting education, father engagement, training, curriculum, and technical assistance portfolio. This individual provides strategic and operational leadership to the managers, specialists, training staff, and facilitators responsible for delivering high-quality parenting education and professional learning services.

The Senior Director will partner closely with organizational leadership and external stakeholders to strengthen program quality, expand FNC’s training and technical assistance reach, and position the organization as a recognized leader in parenting education, father engagement, family strengthening, and professional learning. The portfolio of this role exceeds $1 million in revenue annually.

The Senior Director of People & Culture is a key organizational leader responsible for building the people, culture, and workforce systems that enable FNC and its staff to thrive. 

FNC has a close-knit workforce of approximately 30 regular full- and part-time employees, along with a pool of seasonal and part-time staff who support our training programs. This structure requires a People & Culture leader who knows our staff and managers, is visible and accessible, and can build strong relationships while creating consistent systems and practices across a varied workforce. 

Reporting directly to the Executive Director and serving on the Executive Leadership Team, the Senior Director leads FNC’s People & Culture strategy and core human resources functions, including employee relations, performance management, talent, learning and development, benefits, compensation, policies, compliance, and employee experience. 

This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role. The Senior Director must be equally comfortable advising the Executive Director and leadership team, coaching a supervisor through a difficult employee matter, strengthening a policy or system, facilitating staff development, and ensuring essential HR responsibilities are executed accurately and consistently. 

The Senior Director supervises the People & Finance Specialist and works closely with Finance & Administration while engaging employment counsel, brokers, trainers, consultants, and other specialized partners as needed. 

This is also a highly visible role. The Senior Director is expected to maintain a consistent presence at FNC’s Dorchester headquarters and regularly visit other FNC program sites and communities to build relationships with staff, understand their work, and ensure People & Culture practices are responsive across the organization.

Family Nurturing Center is an equal opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace.
