Burbank, California

The Moran Company is pleased to partner with the National Assistance League to recruit the organization's next Executive Director.

Assistance League is a national nonprofit volunteer organization founded in 1919 with the mission to "engage and empower volunteers to strengthen our communities." With 95 local chapters and over 17,000 volunteers across the United States, the Assistance League empowers members to identify and address the unique emotional and physical needs of children and adults in their specific communities through various philanthropic programs.

While the national organization supports, trains, and monitors chapters, funds raised by each chapter primarily stay local to directly support community-based services, with its national signature program, Operation School Bell, focusing on providing new clothing and supplies to help children succeed in school.
