DT CARES is a community-rooted organization dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders through mentorship, structured support, and meaningful opportunity. Our work centers on student-athletes from underserved communities — young people who are often defined by their sport and rarely given the space, guidance, or resources to discover who they are beyond it. Through programs grounded in identity development, leadership, and postsecondary readiness, DT CARES works to close the gap between potential and pathway.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM — MORE THAN AN ATHLETE (MTA)
More Than an Athlete is the flagship program of DT CARES and the central focus of our organization. MTA is a comprehensive, 4-year mentorship and development pipeline that pairs Hartford County scholar-athletes with trained MTA Coaching Fellows — current college athletes and young professionals committed to guiding the next generation.
The program begins with student identification in 8th grade and runs through all four years of high school. Scholars enter as part of a cohort and progress together year over year, building relationships, accountability, and growth over time. Each scholar is surrounded by a personalized coaching staff — their parent or guardian, a school representative, their athletic coach, and an MTA Coaching Fellow — all activated and aligned from Day 1.
MTA is structured around four developmental stages: Foundation (9th grade), Growth (10th grade), Development (11th grade), and Launch (12th grade). The program culminates each year in the MTA Leadership Summit — our annual flagship event where scholars lead, present publicly, and demonstrate the growth they've built. Across all four years, scholars are exposed to college campuses, corporate environments, career pathways, and community experiences designed to expand their world and deepen their identity beyond sport.
MTA is designed to produce scholars who leave high school with confidence, a clear postsecondary plan, strong communication and leadership skills, and a network of coaches, mentors, and peers invested in their success.
DT CARES is seeking a Program Director to lead the day-to-day execution, relationship management, and operational integrity of the More Than an Athlete program. This is a builder and operator role — not a coordinator position. The Program Director will be responsible for ensuring every phase of the program runs with consistency, quality, and accountability, from the initial student identification conversations in May through the summer kickoff and into full school-year implementation.
The person in this role sits at the center of four critical relationships: scholars, families, MTA Coaching Fellows, and school partners. They are the connective tissue that makes the program work — keeping everyone aligned, informed, and moving forward. We are looking for someone with the organizational capacity to manage multiple moving parts, the interpersonal skills to build trust with students and families, and the leadership presence to hold a high-functioning program to a high standard.
This role is being filled ahead of the end of April to support spring onboarding and the 2026 summer launch cycle.
Data, Tracking & Continuous Improvement
The right person for this role brings a genuine passion for youth development and a track record of building trust with young people, families, and community partners. They are operationally strong — able to manage complexity without losing quality — and they carry themselves with the kind of presence and credibility that earns confidence from all sides of the table.
You are a strong fit if you are:
More Than an Athlete is a long-term, 4-year student development model. To preserve program quality and accountability, the Program Director role is structured as an annual appointment tied to each program cycle, with the possibility of renewal based on performance, organizational needs, and mutual alignment.
The selected candidate will be expected to lead program implementation through the 2026 to 2027 cycle, including spring onboarding, summer launch, and school-year execution. Renewal for subsequent cycles will be evaluated annually.
This is a part-time, hybrid role based in the Greater Hartford, CT area. Hours and scheduling will be tied to program phases, with increased engagement during spring onboarding, summer launch, and key event periods.
If you are mission-aligned, operationally strong, and ready to play a central role in building something that matters for young people in Hartford County — we want to hear from you.
