We believe that when we make a deep, long-term commitment to youth and their families, our whole community thrives. We walk side-by-side with youth and their families as they navigate school and life, offering academic, social, and emotional support as they learn, grow, and work toward their dreams.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">No one should have to take this journey alone. Since our founding in 1988, we have leveraged proven methods to give youth equal access to the resources they need to succeed and ignite their innate potential. When we keep our promises, anything is possible.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(31, 56, 100); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Our Vision</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">A Colorado where every young person has equal access to educational and career opportunities that will ignite their innate potential.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(31, 56, 100); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">About the Position</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The Director of Clinical Education (DCE) is a senior clinical leader within the LiftED Horizons team at Colorado LiftED Foundation (CLF). The DCE holds strategic and operational ownership of CLF’s clinical workforce development — designing and driving the training, supervision, and education infrastructure that enables CLF to deliver accessible, culturally affirming, trauma-responsive, and healing-centered mental health care.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This role carries direct supervisory authority over all clinical interns (MSW and counseling) and Associate BHTS Fellows, owning the Pathway to Fellowship and the Fellow-to-staff pipeline that fuels CLF’s long-term clinical workforce. The DCE is a peer partner to the Director of Clinical Services — coordinating on intern and fellow caseloads, service quality, documentation compliance, crisis response, and the clinical policy review cycle that keeps CLF ahead of the curve. The DCE reports directly to the Senior Director of Clinical Programs.</span></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(31, 56, 100); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">This Role Lives All Five CLF Values</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(69, 129, 142); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">A Seat at the Table – </span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You train clinicians to center client and family voice in every clinical encounter — in informed consent, treatment planning, and the therapeutic relationship itself.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"color: rgb(69, 129, 142); font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Once a Dreamer, Always a Dreamer – </span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You build the programs, pipelines, and partnerships that ensure CLF remains present across the full journey of every young person.
