Executive Director

REACH Beyond Domestic Violence, a nonprofit organization committed to creating healthy and safe relationships for individuals and communities by ending domestic violence, is searching for a people-centered leader to serve as its next executive director. 

REACH provides direct services to domestic violence survivors and their children through intervention, prevention, and advocacy programs. Based in Waltham, Mass., it serves people in 27 cities and towns in Boston’s western suburbs. For over 40 years, REACH has provided safety and support to survivors of domestic violence, while engaging communities to create lasting change. REACH partners with government and private agencies to support survivors, raises public awareness about domestic and dating violence, and advocates for policies and programs to protect and assist survivors. 

REACH seeks an executive director who will amplify the voices of survivors and their experiences, lead with conviction and connection, invest deeply in community and coalition, prioritize anti-violence and anti-racist movements, and build a pipeline of leaders within the REACH community, with particular investment in leaders of color. REACH has a long track record of positive impact in the diverse communities it serves, driven by a commitment to evolving and innovating to meet the needs of its clients and communities. Starting from this place of strength, and with a strategic planning process ahead, this is a prime opportunity for a leader to be a catalyst of change, building on REACH’s momentum to empower survivors and create healthier communities. 

Kennedy Kearney-Fischer is leading this search with Tiara Mack, Angelo Alexander and Victoria Castillo.
