HEY! is hiring two additional Program Manager staff to help accelerate the initiative’s transition from development to implementation of its strategic plan. In partnership with the Executive Director and a diverse range of partners including community organizations, healthcare providers, educational institutions, government agencies, and youth advocates, the Program Managers will play a critical role in catalyzing collaborative action and enabling the success of the initiative.

We are seeking approximately 20 fellows (ages 14-24) to advance key components of HEY! (Hopeful, Empowered Youth)’s 10-year strategy to improve the well-being of youth in the Greater Cincinnati region. The paid fellowship will be approximately six months, lasting from December 2024 to May 2025.

All young people in the Greater Cincinnati region are invited to apply. The 10-year strategy is designed to improve supports for all youth in the region with a targeted focus on those who are facing the greatest barriers from the current system: Black youth, LGBTQ+ youth, and systems involved youth (involvement with child welfare, foster care, juvenile justice system).
