"I want to read to my sisters so they can be smart and a genius, just like me." 📖

Meet Ari (who you've already seen in many of our videos!) and her family in The Leon Levine Foundation's recent video about their commitment of $10M to build literacy-rich environments in homes across the Carolinas. We were so excited to see Ari and her mother, Tiara, featured - Tiara is a longtime member of our Book Harvest family and one of the fiercest literacy champions we know.

Read more about their incredible family and The Leon Levine Foundation's commitment to book abundance in our new blog post. 💛

Throughout Books on Break season, watching a child pick out 10 of their very own books never gets old - and it doesn’t happen without the incredible educators who make it possible.

The amazing teachers, literacy coaches, parents, and volunteers who guide children through their Books on Break experience don’t just show up for the program; they also show up every single day as literacy champions for the children in their lives. Thank you for being the heart of this work. 💛

With revenues now on track to exceed $10M, a presence in five states, and a national movement in motion, we need a financial leader who asks “how do we make this possible” — not who works from “why we can’t.”

Ideal candidate expertise:
✔️ CPA (strongly preferred) with 12+ years of progressive financial leadership, with at least eight years managing full-scope finance for a nonprofit with revenues exceeding $10 million.
✔️ Expert in nonprofit GAAP, fund accounting, grant compliance, and audit processes
✔️ A people leader with high emotional intelligence and strong coaching instincts
✔️ Passion for literacy, equity, and expanding opportunity for every child

Compensation & Benefits: $119,000–$139,300 (experience-based), health/dental/vision insurance, 401(k), generous PTO, Paid Family Leave, Employee Assistance Program, short- and long-term disability insurance, and a mission-driven culture. Remote-friendly, with preference for candidates in central North Carolina.

📅 Priority Deadline: June 10, 2026
