The Fellowship of Orthodox Christians United to Serve (FOCUS) North America is seeking a qualified candidate to fill the position of part time Center Director for its FOCUS Portland ministry location.

FOCUS Center Directors have three core responsibilities, to (i) manage and grow a vibrant ministry to underprivileged individuals and families of the community by (ii) leading and building an engaged team of local volunteers and (ii) raising necessary funds by building relationships with supporters.

The ministry will also provide afternoon activities on Wednesdays. Ministry opportunities will initially be hosted at St. Andre Bessette in Downtown Portland. Through these connections, we will identify and respond to the evolving needs of our neighbors with compassion and care.

The Center Director is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the local ministry including food and clothing distribution, volunteer coordination, Advisory Committee management, and partnerships with other local organizations. The Center Director will also work with the FOCUS North America Development Office to solicit donations and pursue grants to support and grow the ministry.

The position reports to the Director of Operations.
