Youth and family services nonprofit operating across NYC foster care, education, and community programs
Good Shepherd Services operates a sprawling nonprofit delivering foster care, juvenile justice, after-school, and family counseling services across New York City. The hiring velocity is accelerating with 168 roles posted in the last 30 days across support, education, and healthcare functions — a staffing scale that reflects the operational complexity of managing integrated child welfare and youth development programs. Tech stack is light (Salesforce, Office, Zoom, Tableau, PowerSchool) and reflects program-delivery-driven operations rather than technology infrastructure as a primary lever.
Notable leadership hires: Assistant Director, Program Director, Assistant Program Director, Learning and Development Director, Aquatics Director
