Full-time Asst. Director of the Salesian Center (11 Month)

Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School invites applications for a full-time Assistant Director of the St. Jane de Chantal Salesian Center. Located in Washington, DC, and founded in 1799, Georgetown Visitation Preparatory School educates young women in grades 9 – 12 in a welcoming community rooted in the Roman Catholic faith and Salesian tradition.

The mission of the St. Jane de Chantal Salesian Center is to ensure that the Visitation Sisters’ gentle, inspired common sense approach to living a faith-filled life continues to endure, flourish, and guide all aspects of a Visitation education into our third century and beyond. The Center is built on four guiding pillars:

Guiding Pillars

Faith Formation: The creation of a diverse portfolio of Salesian faith formation offerings to support our community’s understanding and embrace of Salesian Spirituality.

Leadership and Living Our Faith Through Service: Cultivating and energizing our students and alumnae to be leaders in the Church, the community, and the world through voice, witness, and deed—"Living Jesus" in all that they do.

Engagement Beyond the Green Gate: Developing a variety of communication platforms for sharing the inspired writings and teachings of St. Francis de Sales, St. Jane de Chantal, and the Sisters of the Visitation within and beyond our campus.

Preserving Our Past: Carefully preserving our archival documents, photographs, and objects that celebrate our 226-year history, and making our rich story and traditions accessible through multimedia.

A successful candidate will embrace the creative possibilities for enlivening spiritual life programs within a Catholic high school for young women. This involves developing programming for faculty formation, alumnae reflection, and parent discussion, as well as collaborating with partners on campus and in the broader Visitation Salesian family.

Our ideal colleague has a collaborative spirit, a well of kindness and flexibility, and an enthusiasm for being an active participant in school life. An integral member of the faculty and staff, the Assistant Director should enjoy working with an array of campus partners, particularly Campus Ministry, Christian Service, the Monastery, and the Communications Office.
