Finance Manager – Nonprofit – YELLS (Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc.)

About us

Through our place-based youth and family programs, YELLS serves as a community hub and center for servant leadership in our students’ own neighborhood. Our mentoring and after-school programs engage the whole child, whole family, and whole community to empower youth with the skills, resources, and character they need to serve as effective leaders and change makers within their community. After 16 years of place-based work in the Franklin Gateway neighborhood, YELLS recently expanded to bring its powerful programming to the Fair Oaks community, a diverse Cobb County neighborhood with primarily Hispanic and Latino families. As YELLS expands to a new community, this role will support our administrative capacity to grow and sustain our mission in both Franklin Gateway and Fair Oaks.
