FLY is looking for an inspired, dynamic, energetic, highly skilled person to join our team as our full-time Director of Programs.

The Director of Programs will plan and implement academic, creative arts, and leadership programs and monitor youth's academic progress. The Director of Programs is responsible for successfully managing all program activities for youth ages 9-18, 12 summer camp staff, 45 school-year volunteers, and contractor positions working within any of the school year and summer programs. FLY?s close relationship with American University will require the Director of Programs to be trained in their policies, as well as cultivating a positive relationship with AU.

FLY is a not-for-profit organization that works with an American University student club in supporting youth East of the Anacostia River in achieving their educational goals, developing their talents, and expanding their leadership roles. Long-term success is achieved through one-on-one relationships between Barry Farm youth and university mentors and tutors. Peers, parents, university, community, and hip hop are the foundation for FLY's free year- round programming.

Please join in for an informative and entertaining discussion of leadership and values in the 21st century. The Honorable Bob Dole - a decorated war hero, former Senate Majority Leader, and 1996 Republican Presidential candidate - will be the featured speaker.
