The Position

The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania (ACLU-PA) seeks a mission-driven, visionary policy and advocacy professional and operations manager to serve as the next Director of Advocacy and Policy (Director). The Director will join the ACLU-PA at a time of increasing threats to liberty and civil rights and will build upon a century of work and success to advance the organization’s mission to drive progress toward a more genuine multiracial, multicultural, and just democracy.

The incoming Director will join a team of experts that works diligently to defend the civil liberties of all Pennsylvanians. The breadth of expertise at the ACLU-PA allows the organization to integrate litigation, legislative and policy advocacy, organizing, and communications. The ACLU-PA’s staff and volunteers work both independently and in coalition with those most affected by the issues they address, including voting rights, First Amendment rights, privacy and security, racial justice, reproductive freedom, student and youth rights, immigrants’ rights, criminal legal reform, and Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual+ Equality. The work for the ACLU-PA has never been more important, and over the past year, ACLU-PA membership has grown, and fundraising has leaped.

The Director will join at a time of momentum for the organization and set a strategy and vision that support the ACLU-PA’s policy and advocacy team in enhancing the scale, coordination, and impact of advocacy and policy efforts across the organization. By fostering productive and trusted relationships throughout the ACLU-PA and partnering with peers on the senior leadership team, the Director will advance a more collaborative, transparent, and integrated organizational culture to empower, support, and develop a talented, mission-oriented staff. This leader will lead by example to nurture, strengthen, and expand partnerships across the Commonwealth to increase visibility of the ACLU-PA’s important work and its impact.

Our approach to grantmaking is focused on one central idea: let’s help make more lives better by connecting more people to more opportunities and more resources. We aim to do this work in the Philadelphia region particularly for groups of people who have often been shut out of opportunity in the past because of disinvestment, discrimination, or systemic inequities.

The Foundation makes grants in five programs, primarily focused in Philadelphia and its surrounding counties:

  • Children and Families – Expand access to programs and resources that support the healthy development and academic success of young children, ages 0-8.

Chief Executive Officer | Northeast Treatment Centers (NET)

About Northeast Treatment Centers

Northeast Treatment Centers (NET) offers support and hope to individuals and families at times of great stress in their lives. Founded in 1970, NET is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that has served children, youth, and families across the region for more than five decades. NET operates through its subsidiary, NET Community Care, as a Community Umbrella Agency under contract with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, delivers a continuum of juvenile justice programs in partnership with the Philadelphia Juvenile Probation Office, and provides foster care, adoption, case management, violence prevention, and family support services across multiple sites in the city.

In May 2026, NET and JEVS Human Services jointly announced a service integration plan in which NET’s behavioral health services in Philadelphia and Delaware will be integrated into JEVS. The plan was developed collaboratively with Community Behavioral Health and reflects a shared commitment to continuity of care for clients and continued employment for staff. JEVS, an 85-year-old Philadelphia institution, brings deep operational capacity and a complementary mission. Both organizations will continue to advance their missions following the integration, which is expected to complete by the end of calendar year 2026.

With this integration, NET will continue to focus on the trauma-informed social service programs in which it has the deepest community roots and the strongest outcomes. NET 2.0 will operate at approximately $32 million in annual revenue across Philadelphia-based locations, carries no debt, and is largely program-funded rather than fee-for-service. The continuing service portfolio includes case management, community engagement, foster care, residential care, adoption, juvenile justice services, violence prevention programs, parenting programs, and child welfare services. NET enters its next chapter with operating surplus, balance sheet stability, a strong and tenured senior team, and an engaged Board of Directors.
