Job Description

The Forum for Youth Investment

Chief Executive Officer

Washington, D.C.

The Forum for Youth Investment (Forum) invites applications and nominations for its next CEO. Founded in 1998, the Forum is a nationally recognized nonprofit dedicated to improving opportunities and outcomes for young people. The Forum is focused on advancing equity, research, policy, and practices across all systems and settings that shape young people’s lives. Supported by a team of 35 full-time staff, the Forum partners with national, state, and local leaders across the country, connecting them with the ideas, tools, and networks they need to make intentional decisions that benefit youth. The Forum has consistently taken a youth-centered approach and successfully expanded into various areas, building a strong national reputation and lasting partnerships.

This leadership transition comes at a time of significant opportunity for the Forum as the need and demand for the organization’s work are greater than ever. Systemic inequities that limit opportunities for many young people persist. The rapidly changing nature of the workforce, advancements in technology, and evolving expectations demand that youth be equipped with a broader set of skills. The challenges young people face today are not confined to a single area but span multiple systems like education, mental health, and workforce development. The Forum’s holistic approach is essential for addressing these complex, interconnected issues in a comprehensive way.

As the organization moves forward, it seeks an inclusive and entrepreneurial CEO to center the Forum’s work around a clear mission and strategic plan that knits together its streams of work and talented staff. This CEO will be an exceptional keeper of the organization’s financial and cultural health; a passionate advocate who can advance its reputation and influence in the field; and a strategic thinker who will set new goals for long-term growth and impact. Assessing the Forum’s activities and operations in a new political and social environment, this leader will be visionary and experienced, oriented to the future while building on the past. They will naturally engage with young people and be an expert in the field – an experienced practitioner passionate about positive youth development in policy and practice. The CEO will serve as a thoughtful leader, with demonstrated effectiveness in organizational development, advancing equity, and building positive relationships with staff and boards. The CEO will be a highly effective communicator, skilled at securing resources and establishing partnerships across a broad range of constituencies. They will be a strong and accountable financial and people manager who inspires and empowers those they work with.
