Site Directors (SDs) oversee all aspects of an Aim High summer school campus to ensure high-quality implementation of the six-week, academic enrichment and youth development program, ensuring that the Aim High Core Values are brought to life for students and staff alike. SDs also have responsibilities during the academic year, typically working 5-10 hours a month (Aug-May). SDs, with the help of the Central Office, are responsible for hiring, training and overseeing faculty, typically between 15 to 30 staff members, along with some student recruitment responsibilities and admissions decisions. Most Aim High sites have two Co-Directors, and therefore must work together as an effective leadership team. Site Directors report directly to their assigned Program Director or Program Manager.
