Current Employment Opportunities:

San Diego County: President & CEO
Voices for Children, serving San Diego and Riverside Counties, seeks a dynamic, strategic, and highly collaborative President/CEO to lead one of the largest Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) programs in the United States.

VFC’s next President/CEO will take the helm at an exciting and important time for the organization. Voices for Children was founded in 1980, as a grassroots organization that was one of the earliest adopters of the “CASA” model of volunteer court advocacy, which was begun as a pilot program in Seattle in 1977. In 2006, the VFC board and staff set an ambitious vision to “Serve Every Child” who needs a CASA, and over a decade, that vision is nearly realized. In that period since 2006, the budget grew from $1.9 million to the current budget of $6.4 million. Currently, in San Diego County, there are 5,000 children in the foster care system over the course of one year; in Riverside County, 5,400 children are in the foster care system. Today, VFC serves 3,050 San Diego County foster children with advocacy and reviews case files for all 5,000 children in care. In addition, since 2015, VFC has operated the CASA program in Riverside County, which is in its early stages of development. Currently, it is serving 250 children. VFC manages 1,600 CASA volunteers in two counties, with a paid professional staff of 75. The Board of Directors of Voices for Children numbers 27—leaders and philanthropists from throughout San Diego County.

Voices for Children is the largest CASA program in the Western United States and in the Top 3 of all U.S. CASA programs. The VFC Board is now engaged in strategic planning, looking forward to the future vision for the organization. VFC’s next President/CEO will build on the strengths of past accomplishments and be part of the new vision for the future. Click here to learn more about this opportunity
