The Southern York County Regional Recreation Commission (SYCRRC) is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Recreation Director to lead our young and evolving organization into its next phase.

Following the successful launch of the Commission and its first 16 months of operation, we are looking for a new leader to build on this foundation and help shape a robust and inclusive recreational future for Southern York County.

The Recreation Director is responsible for planning, developing, and overseeing a diverse portfolio of recreational programs and events for all ages and interests — from sports and wellness to arts and cultural activities. This role also involves managing parks and recreation facilities, collaborating with local municipalities, and guiding both short- and long-term planning efforts to support the growth and sustainability of regional recreation.

Key responsibilities include program development, staff coordination, facility oversight, budget administration, and community outreach. The successful candidate will be a skilled communicator, an effective administrator, and a passionate advocate for the role of recreation in enhancing quality of life.

This is an exciting opportunity to step into a leadership role and help shape the trajectory of a promising regional initiative that has already laid important groundwork.

To apply, please submit a resume and cover letter to Andrew Shaffer at manager@newfreedomboro.org by September 1, 2025.
