Executive Director, EMBRACE

Executive Director EMBRACE Overland Park, KS Organizational Background EMBRACE (Enriching Many By Reaching All in Catholic Education) in Overland Park, Kansas, is seeking an Executive Director to raise funds and partner closely with schools to help meet the needs of students with special needs. This 501c3 nonprofit organization was formed in 2016 by a group of parents and individuals committed to the cause. Its mission is to provide children with special needs the opportunity for an inclusive Catholic education by providing resources to support these children in their home parish schools. EMBRACE currently has an annual budget that is just under $500,000. In partnership with the Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, it awards multi-year grants to Catholic schools in Johnson and Wyandotte Counties. Dollars are used to help fund certified professionals in their field (such as speech and language pathologists, special education teachers, occupational therapists, gifted instructors, social skill coaches, instructional coaches or physical therapists) or to obtain research-backed curriculum or materials to better include all learners. In addition to providing grants and other resources to schools and teachers, EMBRACE may provide general information to parents as needed while raising awareness and advocating for inclusive religious education throughout the community.
