The Providence Public School District (PPSD) serves approximately 22,000 students attending our 35 schools. PPSD employs more than 3,200 professionals who work in and provide support to our schools, which include 19 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, 10 high schools and 2 public district charter schools. Of our employees, approximately 2,000 are educators, and more than 600 others directly support students and families in our schools.

Our schools are diverse learning communities. Approximately 68% of our students are Latinx, 15% Black, 7% White, 4% Asian, 5.5% Multi-racial and 1% Native American. Approximately 40% of students are multilingual learners, and about 16% of students receive special education services. Approximately 55% of students come from homes where English is not the primary language spoken. Combined, our students and families speak more than 55 different languages and hail from 91 countries of origin.

The Executive Director of Facilities and Capital Planning (hereinafter Director) will report to the Chief of Operations and will interact at a significant level with a wide range of staff across PPSD, the City of Providence Department of Public Property, the Rhode Island Department of Education, the Rhode Island Governor’s Office, as well as with other public agencies. The Director will be responsible for supporting the advancement of district capital planning, new school construction, and major school renovation projects, ensuring capital budgeting through final project execution are completed efficiently and with the interests of Providence’s students foremost in mind. 

The individual in this role will also be responsible for managing the district’s maintenance and custodial budget, ensuring contracted maintenance and custodial activities meet standards of high-quality and are appropriately delivered. We are looking for a seasoned facilities leader to meet the ambitious goals set forth by the district.

This role is an exciting opportunity to serve as a leader within a diverse and dynamic team committed to the audacious task of transforming public education in Providence Public Schools. By any measure, and over many years, the Providence Public School District (PPSD) has failed to deliver on its most fundamental obligation: fair and equitable access to a rigorous education for all children. The time for change is now and the district is in the process of a game-changing transformation led by a newly appointed State Turnaround Superintendent, in coordination with the Rhode Island Department of Education and with the support of the larger Providence community.

Since the beginning of the state intervention, expectations for what is possible with district facilities has changed dramatically. While just a short while ago the district’s capital plan was focused on small, band-aid fixes, it is now a comprehensive, multi-year plan focused on getting 100% of students in new or like new schools by 2030.

About the Opportunity

The Communications Director is a strategic and creative leader responsible for shaping and sharing Building Futures' story. This position implements internal and external communications—advancing the organization’s visibility, influence, and impact with partners, policymakers, employers, funders, donors, and the broader community.

The ideal candidate is a storyteller who can translate complex workforce and economic development initiatives into compelling narratives that inspire action. This role combines strategic communications, media relations, digital engagement, and brand management to advance Building Futures’ mission.

About Building Futures

Building Futures was founded in 2007 as a construction industry partnership focused on leveraging the Registered Apprenticeship model of workforce development. For over 100 years, unions and employers have jointly operated quality registered apprenticeships in construction occupations to train individuals as highly skilled tradespeople. Our work spans three distinct but highly aligned areas.

For the benefit of low-income Rhode Islanders, Building Futures developed and operates a comprehensive pre-apprenticeship program to prepare diverse, low-income men and women for success in employment as registered apprentices in the building trades. In addition, we work in partnership with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure construction projects provide employment opportunities for apprentices at the appropriate level to meet future demand for skilled labor through our Apprentice Utilization Program. Our pre-apprenticeship and apprentice utilization program provide an effective workforce development system in Rhode Island’s construction sector.

From this foundation, we have established Apprenticeship Rhode Island, an initiative to expand the use of Registered Apprenticeship beyond the construction sector. Now, we are helping develop new registered apprenticeship programs in multiple sectors, including healthcare, information technology, advanced manufacturing, and marine trades. Working with employers, industry partnerships, government, and community-based organizations, we are spreading the proven model of Registered Apprenticeship to benefit the state’s workforce and economy.

Hello! We are in need of volunteers to help paint the church house. It's a very big house and we can use all the help we can get. We were going to hire a painter but we ended up having a very big electrical problem come up and we had to allocate our funds that way instead. Painting experience is preferred. 

Hello, the chapel and rectory have some electrical issues that we could use some help with. If you're a professional electrician please reach out!

Hello! The chapel needs volunteers who are willing to come by regularly to clean. Light cleaning like dusting, sweeping, tidying up areas that need it. 

Volunteer Help Needed: We’re looking for a few helping hands to assist with moving furniture and assorted light items from one floor of our rectory to another. Nothing heavy-duty—just organizing, lifting, and carrying as part of caring for our shared space. Thank you for your support!

Our chapel currently needs help with minor construction and repairs around our church and rectory.
