I am about two months into being a Program Director at a Non-Profit that provides afterschool programs for middle schoolers and I feel like I’m drowning and can’t keep up. At this Non-Profit it is only myself, the Executive Director, and one intern in our office.

In my position I am in charge of outreach,curriculum creation/instruction, supervision of mentors for afterschool programs, site supervisor, office management,etc. All of these things I have never done before and this is a completely different field than what I got my degree in(Sport Management).

Usually I have check in meetings with my ED, but they are mostly check ins on how programming and outreach are going. At these meetings, he usually also gives me additional work on top of what I already have. And when I ask him questions for clarity or questions about how things are run in the past, he always answers my question with a question. It’s also hard to communicate how I am feeling about the workload with him because he doesn’t really express emotion or read emotion well.

I feel like I am just getting by with this job and everyday there is more dumped on me. There is no one else beside my Executive Director that I can talk to because it’s just us to here. He also told me that I can not contact anyone from the board if I need help.

Should I just quit this position and find something else? Or Is it worth sticking it out here?
