JRP is looking for a new Executive Director!
After 11 wonderful years, Melanie will transition out of her role as Executive Director in early 2022. This is a great time for leadership transition for Jericho Road: we’ve built successful programs serving a wide range of local nonprofit organizations, a well-respected reputation, a healthy funding base, a committed board and an amazing group of dedicated volunteers.
Job Posting: Executive Director of Jericho Road Pasadena
Jericho Road Pasadena’s mission is to bridge communities by matching the professional talents of volunteers with the goals of community-based nonprofit organizations in Pasadena and the greater San Gabriel Valley.

Now in our second decade of service to the community, we are looking for a leader to build on our success and help write the next chapter.

- Skills-based volunteering: We connect volunteer experts with nonprofits that offer critical services to underserved residents in their communities. By meeting the internal needs of these nonprofits free of charge – from strategic planning to marketing and IT – nonprofit staff can focus on stronger delivery of services, thereby building better communities. The value of these pro bono services in any given year is about $200,000.
- Board Training and Matching/Placement: We offer board training through a series of quarterly Effective Board workshops and we offer matching services to both workshop attendees and to community members who are looking for a new nonprofit board to join.
- Professional Development: We organize and serve as the fiscal sponsor for the Pasadena Executive Roundtable.
