ACADEMY DIRECTOR RIGHT TO DREAM SAN DIEGO
Build the Future of Youth Development. From the Ground Up.
San Diego FC is searching for a bold, visionary leader to launch and lead our Right to Dream Academy — a first-of-its-kind residential youth academy in San Diego designed to develop not only elite athletes, but exceptional human beings.
This is a chance to redefine what’s possible in American youth development, building a world-class residential academy from the ground up — one that will set a new standard for how talent is discovered, nurtured, and launched into the world. Our inaugural class of 18 boys arrives in August 2025. Working with a talented team of academic and football leaders, this is your opportunity to create the foundation they—and countless others—will stand on.
If you are a systems thinker, a builder, a dreamer with operational rigor and the courage to challenge the status quo, we want to meet you.
THE OPPORTUNITY
Imagine an academy that’s as committed to curiosity as it is to competition. Where character and creativity are just as valued as goals and grades. Where young people thrive because the environment is designed with intention, compassion, and excellence.
We are looking for a leader to lead a model for the future — blending academics, athletics, and purpose-driven mentorship in a fully residential setting. You’ll be based at our state-of-the-art Sharp Healthcare Performance Center in El Cajon, just outside San Diego, and collaborate with partners across the U.S., Europe, Africa, and beyond.

PREFERRED BACKGROUND
WHO WE ARE
San Diego FC is here to make San Diego shine and to redefine what excellence looks like in North American football. Our mission is to create opportunities for talent to flourish — and we live this mission every day through the Right to Dream philosophy. We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. We're here to change that.
Right to Dream is a global movement that identifies and develops youth talent holistically — with academies and partners in Ghana, Egypt, Denmark, and now, the United States.
This Academy will be the first of its kind in America. Your work will influence not only San Diego, but the entire landscape of youth development across the country.
