Frameworks of Tampa Bay is a leading nonprofit dedicated to equipping all children in our community with the knowledge and know‑how to become kind, collaborative, and capable citizens. With the complex challenges kids face today, we provide positive and personalized learning experiences that develop their emotional intelligence — the critical skills necessary to navigate any emotion, conversation, or situation, no matter how difficult.

From preschool through high school, Frameworks partners with trusted adults to model and teach emotional intelligence to children of all ages and prepares teens to practice it through real‑world leadership experiences. For 15 years, our Teens In Action ™ Program has empowered more than 500 local high school students to serve their community, develop leadership skills, and engage in meaningful, youth‑driven service learning.

The Teens In Action™ Leadership Council is an expansion of this work. This dynamic, research‑aligned program will provide 9th‑12th grade students with deeper leadership opportunities rooted in emotional intelligence, civic engagement, youth voice, and real‑world impact.

We are seeking a high‑energy, relationship‑focused, and mission‑driven leader to oversee this next chapter of Teens In Action™!
