<h2>Job Summary:</h2>
<h2>The Program Manager leads the implementation of the AmityWorks RESTART grant. This is a management role, and it is the position the Department of Labor requires each grantee to staff at 100% full-time — the person ultimately responsible for making the program work.</h2>
<h2>Reporting directly to the Regional Administrator of Employment Services, the Program Manager guides the program from planning through follow-up, meets every performance target the grant sets, keeps the program in compliance with federal rules, manages the partners and subgrantees, and oversees day-to-day services. This includes directly supervising the Case Manager, who serves a caseload of up to 70 participants.</h2>
<h2>Above all, this role turns the grant’s goals into real results: safer communities, lower rates of return to prison, and young adults placed on genuine pathways to stable, well-paying careers. It is a role for a builder who can stand up a new program, hold partners and data to a high standard, and keep participants at the center of every decision</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>Key Responsibilities:</h2>
<h2>Grant Leadership & Implementation</h2>
<h2>• Serve as Amity’s day-to-day leader for the AmityWorks grant, dedicating 100% of work time to the project as the funder requires.</h2>
<h2>• Guide the program through all three phases of the 42-month grant: a three-to-six-month planning and start-up period, roughly two years of full implementation, and twelve months of participant follow-up.</h2>
<h2>• Build and manage the program work plan, timelines, staffing, and milestones so that enrollment, services, and outcomes stay on track.</h2>
<h2>• Make sure the program is delivered as approved — assessments, Individual Development Plans (each participant’s personalized roadmap), career coaching, training toward a credential, paid work experience, mentorship, supportive services, and follow-up.</h2>
<h2>• Ensure each young adult’s needs are reassessed at enrollment and every six months, as the grant requires.</h2>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>Performance, Data & Reporting:</h2>
<h2>• Own the program’s results and put simple, reliable systems in place to track and meet every performance goal:</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<h2>Education & employment — at least 75% of participants in school or working two quarters after they exit, and 70% four quarters after exit</h2>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Earnings — median earnings of at least $5,000 in the second quarter after exit (tracking part-time versus full-time work)</h2>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Credentials — at least 80% of participants earning an industry-recognized credential</h2>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Apprenticeships — at least 10% of participants enrolling in a Registered Apprenticeship</h2>
</li>
<li>
<h2>Recidivism — a return-to-prison rate below California’s most recent state rate of 39.1%</h2>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>• Oversee accurate participant records, including WIOA co-enrollment and the secure collection and handling of personal information such as Social Security numbers, consistent with the grant’s data requirements and privacy safeguards.</h2>
