Leveling the Playing Field Begins Search for Next Executive Director

Leveling the Playing Field Executive Director Search

February 23rd, 2026

Leveling the Playing Field (LPF) seeks its next Executive Director, succeeding founder Max Levitt, who stepped down from his role last summer. LPF is at an exciting inflection point, moving from a founder-led growth phase to an established national organization. 

The Executive Director will provide strategic leadership, oversee a $3.1M budget and 20+ staff, drive revenue strategy and fundraising, and serve as a trusted spokesperson for LPF’s mission of expanding access and equity by redistributing athletic equipment to under-resourced communities. Candidates should bring significant senior leadership experience, strong fundraising and financial management skills, and a passion for sports-based youth development.

LPF is conducting this search in partnership with Good Insight. For more details and to apply, visit www.good-insight.org/careers. 

Best consideration will be given to applications received by mid-March 2026.

We want to send a huge shoutout to all the athletes, coaches, and programs across our communities as they take the field each week. We’re cheering you on every step of the way!

Equal access to sports starts with having the right equipment. Thanks to our incredible partners and our Football Distribution Days this summer, thousands of student-athletes have the gear they need to step onto the field with confidence and play the game they love.

“LPF’s donation has positively impacted hundreds of children who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to get the supplies and practice their favorite sport. Thanks to LPF, hundreds of children from low-income families now play baseball, soccer, and other sports.”

This is why we do what we do…

“LPF’s donations have allowed us to provide families (youth) with [sports] equipment that they might not otherwise be able to afford. We serve a population of families, where food is the greatest need, and therefore, playing sports & being able to afford equipment is tough! During our community outreach events, and after school family engagement programming (Transforming Tuesdays) families are grateful for the opportunity to be able to pick up these much desired items for free! Thank you for being available to us, so that we can provide hope to families!”
