Background: The National Alliance on Mental Illness of New York City, Inc. (NAMI-NYC) is a peer-based and -led grassroots organization that helps families and individuals affected by mental illness. NAMI-NYC is the only non-profit in NYC providing direct support to family members caring for loved ones with mental illness, providing education, advocacy, and support to them as well as to individuals living with mental illness. Serving the community for over 40 years, NAMI-NYC has touched thousands of lives – including more than 20,000 individuals in 2024.
One in five Americans live with mental illness. NAMI-NYC’s 32 staff members and more than 330 volunteers understand the complexity of mental health issues because they too have lived with or supported a loved one with mental illness. This experience allows the staff to convey what they have learned to those who seek out NAMI-NYC’s services through peer-led evidence-based education classes for individuals, family and friends, as well as support groups on a variety of topics. Classes and support groups are available in English and Spanish and are all free of charge.
As one of the largest affiliates of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI-NYC works collaboratively with state and national affiliates, and with stakeholders in the community, to educate the public, increase awareness, advocate for legislation, reduce stigma, and improve the mental health care system. NAMI-NYC is particularly excited about their Workplace Mental Health Initiative which provides tailored programs to employers who want to promote their employee wellbeing in the workplace, while reducing the stigma towards mental illness. This is an innovative model that not only serves the public but generates revenue for NAMI-NYC.
Position: NAMI-NYC has experienced significant growth over the past few years and is looking for a dynamic, experienced, and entrepreneurial leader to be their next CEO. The CEO will act as the organization's chief fundraiser, external advocate, and program leader, and will oversee the organization's continued growth and programmatic expansion. The CEO will work closely with the Board ensuring sustainable growth of the organization while maintaining the high quality of its programs and services.
This is a critical, visible position requiring a genuine and first-hand understanding of mental health issues, as well as a commitment to and passion for NAMI-NYC’s mission. Lived experience is critical to NAMI-NYC’s success, so the ideal candidate will be a highly effective non-profit manager who knows how to inspire and lead the staff of a peer-based and -led organization. The CEO will also lead the drive to increase the organization’s visibility, serving as a passionate advocate to varied constituencies and stakeholders on behalf of NAMI-NYC and engaging the stakeholders in the importance of addressing the myriad needs of those affected by mental illness.
