Executive Director

Apex, North Carolina  | 
Wake County

The Forge Initiative is a volunteer-powered nonprofit entering a new stage of organizational development. The Executive Director will work with the Board to strengthen TFI’s finances, develop reliable revenue and membership systems, and build volunteer leadership so that programs can thrive without depending on constant executive intervention.

This is a hands-on, capacity-building role. The ED will establish priorities and clear ownership for essential work, while helping member families, volunteers, and Board members take meaningful responsibility for carrying it forward. As revenue and capacity grow, the ED will help shape a sustainable staffing model working along with adult and youth volunteers.

Experience using AI and automation to support nonprofit operations, fundraising, communications, data analysis, knowledge management, or program development is a positive.
