Since its incorporation in 2000, City Gate has worked to open doors of opportunity and empowerment for disadvantaged children and families, helping them access more fully the life and benefits of the larger community. We have a strong track record of engaging at-risk youth grades K-12 in quality afterschool and summer day camp programs that focus on academics, social-emotional learning, life skills development, and off-site expeditionary learning. Our programs provide a safe, structured environment where youth are empowered to realize their potential and become caring, confident, responsible adults.

City Gate seeks a dynamic, visionary leader committed to social justice and equity to develop, refine, and implement programs to serve economically disadvantaged youth and their families in Washington, DC and Prince George's County, MD.
At City Gate, our mission is to engage and empower youth and families impacted by poverty to access the resources and opportunities of the larger community. We do this through our out- of-school time (OST) programs in high-need neighborhoods and Title I schools. Our multifaceted programs include academic enrichment related to literacy and STEAM subjects, educational expeditions to expand horizons and build social capital, and social-emotional learning (SEL) to foster self-esteem and positive relationships. Our programs are designed to close the opportunity/achievement gap and open a pathway to long-term educational and life- success. This is reflected in the name City Gate, which captures our vision and core values of justice, inclusion, and equity. The ancient city gates that inspired our name were not simply physical entrances to cities, but quintessential grassroots institutions where elders conducted community business. The prophets insisted that the city gate be the place where the poor, the widow, and the orphan received justice, and the stranger or foreigner received welcome. This ancient vision of inclusion and empowerment for those on the margins is at the heart of what we do. City Gate seeks to translate this ancient ideal into a contemporary vision that affirms the value and dignity of every child. We seek to open the gate and provide a path to inclusion, opportunity, and equity so everyone can realize their potential and participate fully in our community.
The Executive Director oversees operations of City Gate sites in Washington, DC and Maryland, develops visionary and implementable programs, conducts outreach to donors, and manages staff.
