Samvid Ventures (SV) is a philanthropic foundation committed to improving lives and advancing society through innovation in entrepreneurship, education, and wellness. It has staff and board presence in Detroit, New York, and Miami, and a national footprint in its programming.

The SV team values collaboration, intellectual curiosity, creativity, continuous improvement, a commitment to professional growth and development, and maintaining a service orientation in all we do. In its team members, Samvid Ventures looks for individuals who are motivated by excellence, will thrive in an entrepreneurial environment, and have demonstrated a strong impact-orientation through their work.

Samvid Young Leaders (SYL) is a scholarship awarded to high achieving, college-bound young women who face significant financial challenges to both assist with financial demands during college and build a foundation of financial capability to serve the young leaders throughout their lifetime. The program offers three core components: funding for critical non-tuition related expenses, a financial capabilities curriculum and coaching, and a supportive cohort-based model. Launched in Detroit in 2020, we are looking to significantly scale this unique and impactful program, changing the trajectories for young women nationwide.

The National Program Director will work alongside SV’s leadership team and Board of Directors to build upon a successful scholarship program with core responsibilities of managing an ambitious scale-up while bringing practices of continuous improvement to all aspects of programming.
