Join the Mission
OWG's founding team is set: Scott Miller, Robert Slovak, Jan Cherkowski, and Ian Cherkowski. The team needs three additions to bridge from pre-formation to Phase 1 operations and into Phase 2 clinical work.
The most operationally critical role for Phase 1. Phase 1's $850,000 to $1,200,000 Year 1 operating envelope cannot be closed by foundation grants alone — approximately 70-80% must come from individual major donors and banking sponsorships. We are looking for an experienced nonprofit fundraising professional who can lead donor cultivation, banking Founding Pillar sponsorship development, and the Year 1 foundation grant pipeline (Santa Barbara Foundation, Montecito Bank & Trust, Conrad N. Hilton Good Neighbor).
What you bring: Nonprofit major donor cultivation experience, ideally in California behavioral health, healthcare, or homeless services. Part-time engagement in Year 1, scaling to full-time Year 2.
A California-licensed clinical professional (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, PsyD, MD, or DO) to serve as Clinical Director and 100% owner of OWG's Friendly Professional Corporation. This role is essential for DHCS Crisis Stabilization Unit licensure, Medi-Cal provider enrollment, and credibility with county behavioral health agencies. Begins as advisory in late Phase 1 and becomes full-time at Phase 2 launch.
What you bring: California licensure in a relevant clinical discipline (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, PsyD, MD, or DO), interest in TBI and neurological recovery, and openness to an evidence-based protocol approach. Friendly PC equity ownership and clinical governance authority over OWG's clinical operations.
A California healthcare attorney with experience in 501(c)(3) hybrid structures, the Corporate Practice of Medicine doctrine, Management Services Organization architecture, and DHCS provider enrollment under PAVE. This role pairs with OWG's formation counsel (For Purpose Law Group) to govern regulatory compliance, entity structure, and fiduciary accountability through Phase 2.
What you bring: California-licensed healthcare attorney with documented MSO / Friendly PC structuring experience. SB 351 clinical-autonomy and CPOM doctrine fluency. CPA or healthcare finance background is a plus.
