The Director of Operations is responsible for the implementation, communication, and monitoring of all CORRAL policies and legal guidelines with a drive to continuously improve processes by identifying and implementing best practices to achieve efficiency and accuracy. As CORRAL strategically grows, the Director of Operations will create and oversee a facility plan that maximizes the farms in partnership with program directors and equine managers. They will evaluate organizational space needs, configuration, and associated costs. Additional responsibilities include:

• Overseeing process innovation through the work of the IT team.

About the Organization

CORRAL is a faith-motivated, non-profit that acts as an intervention program for adolescent girls in high-risk situations in the Triangle Area. Participants may be “high-risk” due to socioeconomic status, trauma such as neglect, abuse, or, more frequently, a combination of these situations. CORRAL pairs high-risk girls between the ages of 11 and 18 with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth, and ultimately, lasting life change. Programming is intended as a long-term intervention and includes only the uppermost standards of literacy and academic tutoring, vocational training, and equine assisted therapy programs, as well as individual and group mental health sessions.

CORRAL aims to serve the highest risk girls in our community. Among those risk factors is the influence of systemic racism. As members of a marginalized population, young people of color are statistically more likely to have negative health, academic and economic outcomes. Understanding this context, CORRAL bears the same responsibility to heal the trauma our girls have experienced due to systemic racism just as much as more commonly understood forms of trauma.

Led by a twelve-member Board of Directors and a staff of twenty, CORRAL’s annual operating budget is approximately $1.7 million. Programming is provided at no cost to participants and is fully funded by individual donations and grants.
