This person makes it possible for each Basement Director to lead their own site well while ensuring that both centers remain safe, welcoming, youth-centered, financially responsible, and connected to the larger work of Elevate Youth Services. The Director is both an internal leader and an external bridge-builder. They protect the integrity of the model, build the relationships that sustain it, and step in when either center needs additional leadership or support.
