We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Executive Director to oversee the operations and strategic direction of both TAD Foundation and Team See Possibilities. The Executive Director will play a pivotal role in advancing the missions of both organizations, driving growth, fostering collaboration, and ensuring the effective utilization of resources. This is an exciting opportunity for an innovative leader passionate about making a meaningful impact in the non-profit sector. Both TAD Foundation and Team See Possibilities share the same values and similar visions to empower young people who are blind. While the TAD foundation focuses on providing opportunity and mentorship in employment, TSP focuses on building peer-to-peer and mentorship support in post-secondary education. This position will spend approximately 2/3 of time focused on TAD Foundation and 1/3 of time focused on TSP. Each organization will have separate fundraising and program goals. Each organization will also keep separate books, have different boards, and have separate admin responsibilities. TSP will not require as much fundraising support as TAD Foundation.
About TAD
Together Achieving Dreams (TAD) Foundation Inc. is increasing the employment rate for the blind and low vision communities across corporate America by bridging the gap between potential and possibility. In December, 2022, a group of blind and sighted thought leaders imagined a world where blind people aren't questioned on their capabilities due to society's misunderstandings and misconceptions. With over 7.7 million blind and low vision people in the United States and a 75% unemployment rate, it's our time to move the needle forward and make sure blind talent shines across the business landscape.
TAD Initiatives:
Through a 3-prong approach of mentorship, parent programming, and corporate partnerships, TAD will ensure blind students are not just showered with resources they need, but also placed in positions to shine in the workforce.
About TSP:
Team See Possibilities (TSP) is a nonprofit organization founded by blind endurance athlete Dan Berlin and his guides that offers scholarships and mentoring to students with vision impairment. In October 2014, Dan became the first blind runner to cross the Grand Canyon and back nonstop and has since taken on many more endurance challenges. We are working to develop the next generation of role models in the vision-impaired community by providing scholarship, mentorship, and peer-to-peer support. We offer the opportunity for scholars to connect with many highly successful professionals who are blind and working in diverse career fields such as neuroscience, law, corporate management, and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to foster a vibrant mentorship network of mentors and capable, driven students. To date, Team See Possibilities has provided over 80 scholarships equating to over $400k in funds going directly to students' education. Each year we have around 20 students join the program and are building a network of alumni. Dan and his team continue to pursue epic endurance challenges to raise awareness of overcoming perceived limitations. Team See Possibilities is all about breaking down preconceived notions, doing hard things, and supporting blind and visually impaired students. You can learn, train, and set audacious goals.
