Area Director -- Washington Dc

ou believe that people want to come together to care for the most vulnerable, yet they struggle to know who to help and how to connect. You know that children shouldn't pay the highest price when families face extreme hardships and you want to see the Church and the Community come together to care together. Colleagues would describe you as an organizational leader with a keen intellect, a compassionate heart, a strong bias for action - a coalition builder committed to facilitating unity (meaning concerted activity, not uniformity). Your ability to lead teams with clarity and humility while building relational partnerships to achieve measurable results positions you to be a positive agent for change.

CarePortal (CP) is a connecting technology that drives action for local kids and families in crisis. We subscribe to the vision that through the Church and Community, there can be More Than Enough care for kids before, during and beyond foster care. The goal is transformation from child welfare to family well-being in the lives of hurting children/families, the Church, and the Community. We develop robust Care-Sharing Networks and lead with Courage, Humility, and Excellence.
