Leading our on-the-ground work that defines Re-Member’s mission
Re-Member welcomes applications for the leadership position of Program Director. The Program Director is the organization’s on-site leader, living year-round on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota and overseeing Re-Member’s daily operations.
About the Role: Successful candidates will be operations-focused and primarily responsible for managing the organization’s community and volunteer-facing programs.

The Program Director will be the public-facing representative of the organization to several hundred annual volunteers, and tens of thousands of Pine Ridge Reservation residents, primarily enrolled members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
Residing full-time at the organization’s programming headquarters, the Program Director will oversee a year-round operation that includes hosting volunteers on week-long service-learning trips, delivering firewood and other heating assistance, and growing and distributing fresh vegetables.
The Program Director will report directly to Re-Member’s Chief Executive Officer and will collaborate with the CEO and Director of Finance to inform an annual budget.
