**WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A NEW DIRECTOR: Director of Youth Services Job Description**
A Message From Youth Services
On January 23, 2013 our wonderful Youth Services Director, Erica Hansen, resigned from her position. We are very sad to see Erica go, but happy for her and her next adventure. We know she will be a huge success in New York. As we look to hire our next Youth Services Director we wanted to keep the community updated on our programs and our search to fill the big shoes Erica leaves behind.
