Deep Center’s (Deep) mission is to empower Savannah’s young people to thrive as learners, community leaders, and agents of change. Through creative writing, cultural production, and art, Deep creates platforms for the city’s youth and the village of support around them, including their families and adult allies, to share stories, engage in debates, and make Savannah a more just and equitable place.

Deep Center’s framework is anti-racist, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive. We promote a roots-cause model of youth and community development that works on three parallel tracks: direct service, systems change, and narrative change. Deep lifts up youth and their village, advocates for just policies, and disrupts dehumanizing narratives with firsthand stories about youth and their families healing, growing, and thriving through individual growth and collective action.

Deep Center uses writing, art, and culture to fuel the creative fires of Savannah’s young people, helping them connect their learning to their lives, their lives to their communities, and their actions to transformational change.

Deep also works with adults in their village to make sure youth are seen in their full humanity, and to identify and advocate for administrative and legislative policies that make Savannah a safe place for all young people and their families.

The organization currently has 19 full-time staff, and 4 part time staff. Deep has 10 Board members and an operating budget of $1.8 million.

Deep center is seeking a visionary and transformative leader who has a proven record of having developed and operationalized strategies that have taken an organization to the next stage of growth.

Successful candidates must have management experience in a nonprofit organization or organizations, ideally within the social justice, youth and community development, creative arts and/or racial justice fields.

A strong candidate will have demonstrated success in fundraising through diverse sources from government to high-level donors and membership drives including major gifts and capital campaigns.

A strong candidate will have an understanding of the history and culture that shaped Savannah's diverse communities and the South. Experience living in the South, a plus.

A strong candidate will have experience cultivating, developing and inspiring a cohesive, high-performing team of staff and volunteers to further an organizational culture of respect and joy.
