CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


The success of Touchstone's award-winning initiative - CiViL, which builds the social and emotional assets proven to aid a young person's success in life, has created the need for a full-time position for Director of CiViL. The Director of CiViL will begin to build partnerships in new markets, establish relationships with funders, and political and community leaders at each current and future CiViL chapter location. This director will also oversee CiViL's local and national presence and communicate program results with an emphasis on the successes of the local program as a model for regional and national replication.
