Are you a bold, visionary leader ready to make a generational impact on the lives of Los Angeles youth? The Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health (The L.A. Trust) is seeking a high-energy, strategic, and equity-driven Executive Director to lead our organization into its next era of innovation and influence. As the backbone health partner to the nation’s second-largest school district, The L.A. Trust sits at the vital intersection of health and education—shaping policy, driving collaboration, and delivering game-changing programs that advance student wellness and academic achievement. From overseeing over one million patient visits across 20 Wellness Centers to pioneering the Data xChange platform that links student health to academic outcomes, The L.A. Trust is a national model for collective impact. We’re looking for a dynamic executive who thrives in complexity, leads with compassion, and knows how to turn bold ideas into measurable outcomes. As Executive Director, you will lead a passionate team, steward key partnerships with LAUSD, LACOE, and the broader community, and advocate fiercely for the health and dignity of students facing the highest barriers. This is your chance to lead one of the most innovative school health nonprofits in the country, rooted in Los Angeles but with lessons and influence far beyond. If you are a skilled coalition-builder, data-informed decision-maker, and committed advocate for youth and equity, this is the leadership challenge—and opportunity—you’ve been waiting for. Join us in transforming school health and shaping a brighter, healthier future for the next generation.
