CLARK COUNTY PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Description

Girls in Gear emboldens girls of all ages and abilities, especially low-income girls and girls of color, by using bike skills to foster confidence, autonomy, and independence. Our programs - Pedal Power, Glide-to-Ride, and Camp GiG - offer safe, inclusive spaces for growth, focusing on life skills beyond biking. With a no-questions-asked scholarship policy, we remove barriers by providing bikes, helmets, and financial support, ensuring every girl has the opportunity to thrive. Our vision is for a world where every girl grows into her most brilliant, tenacious, and confident self, on and off her bike. Our Clark County Program Director must be fully committed to our mission and growing our program.

This position is salaried and home-based ($20/hour). We ask for a 5-day work week with flexible scheduling.

Our seasons run from September-November, February-April, and June, so the busiest times include the months prior to the season start.
