OPEF Opportunities

Summer Programs Director

Are you an enthusiastic programs professional with a passion for summer enrichment and looking for a dynamic part-time position? The Oak Park Education Foundation (OPEF), a privately funded non-profit focused on STEAM enrichment, is seeking a new Summer Programs Director.

This is an exciting opportunity for an energetic, strategic, personable and organized individual to join our small, committed team. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter who understands how children learn and thrive, has worked as a leader in a school or camp setting, and can creatively and comfortably pivot programs during our uncertain times.  We are looking for someone committed to equity and passionate about our mission of bringing hands-on enrichment opportunities to children to help them build a life-long love of learning.

Our organization–and the community and schools we serve–are committed to diversity at all levels; we strongly encourage candidates of color to apply.

For now, OPEF is operating remotely with occasional outdoor in-person meetings.

Please review the complete job description for instructions on how to apply.
