Position Responsibilities Campus Directors are the fearless leaders of the Summer Springboard Program! We are seeking dynamic individuals that are not only a great manager and administrator but believe in our mission. As Campus Director, you will be afforded the opportunity to change lives and help teenagers realize their potential, dreams, and passions. The Campus Director manages a team of Residential Staff who work directly with the students. The Campus Director will also lead certain activities with the entire group of students. The Campus Director reports to the Program Director located at Summer Springboard HQ in San Diego. They will be required to live alongside students and will have responsibility for the students 24/7 while programs are in session.

There are three phases to the Campus Director role: Pre-Program : From April through mid-June you will assist in program preparations in cooperation with HQ staff. Our HQ staff will be responsible for organizing program logistics (including but not limited to excursions, ground transportation, off-campus meals), but the Campus Director may be required to assist in planning as well as in the hiring of the residential staff. The Campus Director will assist in delivering the pre-program trainings (virtual and in-person) in coordination with HQ staff. While the work will increase as we approach the start of programs, we estimate an average of 8-10 hours per week from April through mid-June.

Program: There are 6 weeks of actual programming on the campus. During this time the Campus Director will oversee and execute the daily operations of the programs, including programming, budget management, and logistics. They will be directly responsible for student conduct, discipline, health, and safety. In addition, the Campus Director will supervise, collaborate with and lead all Instructors and Residential staff, in addition to working with university staff. On certain matters, the Campus Director will be responsible for communicating with parents of students and serving 24/7 on-call for any emergencies.

Post-Program: The Campus Director will oversee the wrap-up of their campus location. This includes the pack-up of program, budget and staff reconciliations, and debriefing with HQ staff and campus partner. These are the main areas of work for the Campus Director, but like any position that involves working with young people, no two days are the same. That is part of the appeal that draws so many of us to this field. The Campus Director will be faced with different scenarios and new challenges, and will be expected to be flexible, communicative, know when to ask for support from the HQ team, and be graceful under pressure. The Campus Director is required to attend a mandatory in-person Director Training held in San Diego (or a nearby location) the beginning of May 2023. Additional virtual trainings and check-ins with the Program Director will also occur in the lead-up to programs start dates.
