Larkin Street Youth Services is in the search for an experienced and energetic Chief Development Officer to strengthen the organization’s messaging, outreach and relationships among new and existing donors, and inspire and lead a talented, mission-driven team. As part of the search process, we are reaching out to the community for suggestions and nominations.

Larkin Street supports young people to move beyond homelessness by providing them with a continuum of wraparound care. Services are tailored to meet them where they are – making programs easy to get into and hard to fall out of – with the ultimate goal of helping young people develop the knowledge and skills needed for independent adulthood. Three out of four people who get help from Larkin Street exit homelessness forever, impacting the overall state of homelessness by taking people out of the pipeline.

For fiscal year 2024/25, Larkin Street has an operating budget of $35M. Of that, approximately 65% comes from institutional funders and 35% from individuals. Larkin Street will likely kick off a growth campaign to raise an additional $7.7M over the next three years to fund strategic investments. The organization is led by an inspiring CEO – a pillar in the community – who is an authentic and passionate storyteller, fundraiser and advocate. The CDO reports to the CEO and oversees a team of 11. Overall, Larkin Street employs 250 professional, compassionate and committed team members.
