About the position

Oasis for Girls is seeking an inspiring, strategic, and relationship-driven leader to serve as its next Executive Director.

This position is ideal for a dynamic nonprofit professional who is passionate about youth empowerment and energized by the opportunity to grow an organization through strong partnerships, smart strategy, and effective fundraising.
