Words Alive
Executive director job in San Diego, CA
WHAT WE DO
We connect children and families to the joy and power of reading. Words Alive is a San Diego-based nonprofit organization founded on the belief that
reading matters
- not only for academic achievement, but for personal empowerment, confidence, and lifelong opportunity. Founded in 1999, our programs both inspire a love of reading and remove barriers to learning and achievement for students across the region.
For over 26 years, Words Alive has worked across generations and in partnership with schools, families, caregivers, volunteers, and community organizations to ensure that all children and families - especially those in historically underserved communities - have access to high-quality books, shared reading experiences, and literacy support.

Read Aloud Program
Adolescent Book Group
Family Literacy Program
LEADERSHIP & CULTURE
Our ExecutiveDirector reports to a 15-person Board of Directors. Under the leadership of current Chair Meredith Baratz, Words Alive has successfully navigated a pivotal period of organizational transformation and executive transition, with a board whose leadership style is rooted in strategic vision, inclusion, and care for community. Our board actively supports every area of the organization, including cross-team collaboration, program support, and fundraising. Our outgoing ED, Rachael Orose, will wrap up her outstanding term at the helm of Words Alive on December 31, and the board has identified an experienced interim ED to lead the organization until a permanent successor is identified. During her six-plus years at Words Alive, Rachael truly took the organization to new heights, successfully leading us through the pandemic, and enabling Words Alive to both scale and deepen our impact. She was also extremely focused on building a culture and work environment centered on inclusivity and transparency, where every team member is encouraged and empowered to be at their very best every day.
Today, the organization is the best it has ever been. We have diligently worked to strengthen our financial position since the pandemic, with a current operating reserve of over six months. Our programs are reaching more kids and families than ever before, thanks to our amazing base of 900+ volunteers - they are the heart of our organization and a testament to the power and impact of our work.
And thanks to a major real estate gift, Words Alive recently moved into a new building in the East Village of Downtown San Diego, and is completing final enhancements. Already, the facility has become a true community hub.
