Job description
The Opportunity - Executive Director
Horizons was founded on the campus of New Canaan Country School in 1964 by then Head of School, George Stevens, who wanted to use the campus to serve a public purpose in the summertime for students less fortunate. Over the last 60 years, the program has grown to serve more than 400 kindergarten through post–secondary students from Norwalk and Stamford each year.
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and visionary individual to lead the flagship Horizons program at New Canaan Country School (“Horizons at NCCS” or “Horizons”) in New Canaan, Connecticut. The Executive Director will partner with the Board to set the strategic vision for Horizons at NCCS’s work, build and lead a high‑performing team of five and a summer staff of over 100, and engage with a wide array of stakeholders (students, families, teachers, board members, alumni, donors, and national and local partners). Horizons is a part of New Canaan Country School. This critical role reports to the NCCS Head of School, in partnership with the Horizons Board Chair. The Executive Director is uniquely positioned to advance the organization’s mission of transforming the lives of underserved children and youth through year‑round academic and enrichment programs to inspire learning, encourage success, and close the opportunity gap.
