Tavon Learning Center seeks an Executive Director who is passionate about person-centered programming and the impact it makes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. If you’re ready to lead an organization where quality is paramount, relationships are central, and your leadership can create lasting impact, this is your opportunity!

At Tavon, we’ve built something exceptional: a nature-based learning program that combines outdoor exploration, real-world community experiences, and individualized support in ways no other local program replicates. Our members don’t just attend a day program, they grow vegetables in our gardens, take the light rail to Chinatown for lunch, hike forest trails, and build skills for independent living. We fill a critical need by providing both an impactful program and critical respite for families and caregivers.

As Executive Director, you’ll steward the organization through an important transition and significant moment in its history. You’ll build upon a strong foundation from our founding Executive Director, who thoughtfully grew the organization over the past 18 years, while you guide Tavon into our next chapter. You’ll work alongside a dedicated team of 20+ staff members, an engaged Board, and a loyal community who are passionate about preserving what makes Tavon unique, while building the systems and structures that will enable Tavon to thrive and grow into this next chapter of impact.

This role puts you at the center of meaningful work: leading a talented and committed team growing into their own leadership, ensuring Tavon’s continued financial sustainability, and collaboratively making strategic decisions that will shape Tavon’s future. You’ll become the public face of an organization that members thrive in, families depend on, staff are proud of, and peers admire.

Key responsibilities include: stewarding change and growth; strategic vision for program quality; fundraising and financial stability; staff leadership and organizational management; community relationship and external presence. Must have experience with individuals with disabilities, be collaborative and people-centered, experience in building donor relationships; knowledge of leading change through transition, and strategic and administrative nonprofit experience.

Online applications only, please no email or paper submissions. You will be asked to upload a cover letter and resume. In your cover letter, please describe as specifically as you can how your experience, interests, and values are a fit with Tavon’s goals, mission, and vision for the future as described in this announcement. Applications received by Friday, June 19, will be given full consideration. All applications will be acknowledged via an email receipt. Consideration will be given to applications as soon as they are received; phone and in-person interviewing is anticipated to begin in June. Questions regarding this opportunity are welcomed and can be directed to: Sarah Cody Roth sarah@cloversearchworks.com
