Northeast Treatment Centers (NET) has served children, youth, and families across the Philadelphia region since 1970. Through its subsidiary NET Community Care, NET operates as a Community Umbrella Agency under contract with the Philadelphia Department of Human Services, delivers juvenile justice programs in partnership with the Philadelphia Juvenile Probation Office, and provides foster care, adoption, case management, violence prevention, and family support services across multiple city sites.
In May 2026, NET and JEVS Human Services jointly announced a service integration in which NET’s behavioral health services will be integrated into JEVS. Developed collaboratively with Community Behavioral Health, the plan ensures continuity of care for clients and continued employment for staff. The integration is expected to complete by the end of 2026.
NET’s continuing service portfolio, operating at approximately $32 million in annual revenue, includes case management, foster care, residential care, adoption, juvenile justice services, violence prevention, parenting programs, and child welfare services across Philadelphia-based locations. The organization carries no debt, runs largely on program funding rather than fee-for-service, and enters its next chapter with an operating surplus, balance sheet stability, a strong and tenured senior team, and an engaged Board.
POSITION OVERVIEW
NET seeks a Chief Executive Officer to lead the organization into its next chapter following the JEVS integration. The work of stabilization is substantially complete. The new CEO inherits a focused service portfolio, a respected senior team, and the opportunity to build externally and entrepreneurially on a foundation that has been intentionally refocused.
The role calls for a leader who can represent NET credibly across Philadelphia’s civic and philanthropic landscape, partner closely with a new Chief Financial Officer and an engaged Board, develop the organization’s philanthropic capacity, and explore growth into adjacent social service domains and surrounding counties. The CEO reports directly to the Board of Directors.

The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School (Penn Carey Law) is shaping the next era of legal education, and it seeks a senior-level, entrepreneurial leader who will help build that future. Around the world, demand for legal knowledge is growing on multiple fronts. Lawyers need continuing education that keeps pace with a rapidly changing profession, and business executives, compliance officers, technologists, and policymakers increasingly need fluency in the law, in new formats, on new timelines, and from institutions they trust. Penn Carey Law is recruiting a senior leader to design and grow the programs that will serve this expanding global audience, carrying the reach of a world-class legal education far beyond the traditional classroom.
The Opportunity
Penn Carey Law has the faculty depth, the brand, and the programmatic infrastructure to lead in serving the legal education market, and it enters this work at an opportune moment. Through Penn Learning for Life, the University is investing in shared capabilities and streamlined support for program design and delivery, and this leader will be positioned to draw on that investment and to build collaborations with sister schools across the University, including the Wharton School, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Perelman School of Medicine.
The Associate Dean will take ownership of an existing portfolio: the Master in Law (ML) degree, continuing legal education, a substantial online course catalog, the pre-college summer academy, executive education, and customized programs. The opportunity is to expand their reach, reputation, and revenue, and, crucially, to help invent what comes next. This is a start-up role with exceptional support from school leadership: the Dean, Deputy Dean, and Chief Financial Officer will be active partners, helping to navigate the University and support key relationships. The ideal candidate will combine strategic vision, entrepreneurial instinct, and operational follow-through, and will be genuinely excited to build something new.
