Description

Originally founded in 1991 as Harlem RBI, DREAM has grown to annually serve more than 2,500 youth across East Harlem and the South Bronx through a network of seven PreK-12, extended-day, extended-year DREAM Charter Schools and community sports-based youth development programs. Through our commitment to rigorous academics, social-emotional learning, deep family and community engagement, and health and wellness, we create lifelong learners who are equipped to fulfill their vision of success in and out of the classroom. We dream big, as well, with an aggressive five-year plan to expand to serve 3,500 students across seven schools—growing our organization’s impact and leveling the playing field for all children.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Advancement Operations, the Director of Special Events provides the strategic vision, leadership, and operational direction for DREAM's portfolio of fundraising, cultivation, stewardship, community, and signature events. The Director oversees an event portfolio that generates approximately $8 million annually toward the Advancement team's $21 million fundraising goal, translating Advancement priorities into high-impact experiences that deepen donor relationships, expand DREAM's network of supporters, and drive meaningful fundraising results.

The Director manages the Events & Operations Manager while partnering closely with the Advancement Operations Manager, Database Manager, and Advancement Operations Coordinator to ensure strategic planning, operational execution, and data management are aligned across DREAM's fundraising events.
