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.

Chief Advancement Officer | For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Founded 25 years ago in honor of Pete Bossow, For Pete’s Sake Cancer Respite Foundation has grown into a nationally recognized organization with a dedicated 15 person staff, engaged Board leadership, and three core programs: the Travel Respite Experience, the Staycation Respite Experience, and Respite Reinforced, which supports families following respite participation.

For Pete’s Sake enables cancer patients and their loved ones to strengthen, deepen and unify their relationships by creating unforgettable and lasting Respite Experiences. Working with oncology professionals at over 100 hospitals and cancer centers, FPS provides transformative Respite Experiences to cancer patients (ages 21-55), their caregivers and their children and offers our families emotional support that assists them as their journey with cancer continues. Our respite program helps families recognize it is love, not cancer, that defines them. For more information on FPS, please visit https://fpsrespite.org/.

For Pete’s Sake is entering a transformative phase of growth through Vision 2030, an ambitious strategic initiative centered on the development of Pete’s Dream—the nation’s first-of-its-kind cancer respite center. Supported by the organization’s $32 million campaign, Respite Transformed: Pete’s Vision Realized at Woodloch, the project will dramatically expand access to Respite Experiences from approximately 700 individuals served annually today to more than 4,000 each year when the center reaches full occupancy. The campaign includes $25 million for the design, construction, and launch of the cancer respite center and $7 million to strengthen endowment resources that will ensure the long-term sustainability and accessibility of respite programming. With construction funding nearly complete, less than $3 million remains to be raised toward the capital portion of the campaign, while approximately $4 million remains to achieve the endowment goal. Additional information about the campaign can be found at www.petesdream.org.

As the organization prepares to bring Pete’s Dream online, its annual operating budget is expected to grow from approximately $2–3 million today to nearly $10 million over the next six years, reflecting the expanded scale and impact of its mission and the significant increase in families served.

Executive Director | Youth Art & Self-empowerment Project

Description

About YASP

Youth Art & Self-Empowerment Project (YASP) is a Philadelphia-based organization rooted in abolition, healing justice, and the power of young people to transform the systems that harm them. We work alongside youth who have been directly impacted by the carceral system, providing restorative justice diversion programming, creative arts programming, a youth-led hub for participatory defense, and other legal education. We believe that the people most harmed by unjust systems are the ones best positioned to dismantle them.

YASP is fiscally sponsored and operates across several interconnected programs: Healing Futures, the Youth Participatory Defense Hub, and Creative Arts workshops. This is a moment of growth and deepening for the organization, and we are looking for a leader who can hold both the day-to-day and the long horizon.

This Moment at YASP

This is not a standard Executive Director role. YASP is at an inflection point, building organizational infrastructure while holding deep commitments to youth leadership, abolitionist values, and tight-knit staff community. The next ED will need to be someone who understands that this work is more urgent than ever. In a moment when organizations are losing funding, facing political targeting, and navigating the realities of rising fascism, YASP needs a leader with deep conviction, someone whose commitment doesn’t waver when conditions get hard. The next phase of YASP’s work is about stability, deepening, and continuity, connecting what we’ve built to where we’re going, and making sure we’re here for the next 20 years.

We’re looking for someone who…

  • Loves young people, full stop. Someone who is genuinely committed to their liberation, growth, and development, and brings that love into every decision they make as a leader.
