Leaders are hungry to learn.
Learning is vital for self-development and leadership growth.
Before you can teach and coach others, you must be intentional about learning and be coachable yourself.
Will’s mission is to transform lives and communities through evidence-based and trauma-informed practices that empower children and families to thrive. Leveraging credentials from Harvard Business School and an extensive network of partners and stakeholders, he has guided Thompson’s notable growth and expansion.
Achieving growth as a non-profit starts with adopting the same mindset leveraged by successful for-profit organizations. While a nonprofit’s goal is to change lives, not make money, maximum impact can only be accomplished with a strong financial position.
Bringing three decades of experience in human services, Will Jones has led Thompson as President & CEO since April 2017. Under his leadership, the organization has experienced transformative growth five times over. Today, Thompson is the largest provider of youth and family services in the Charlotte area while expanding its reach across the Carolinas and into Florida.
Will is a passionate, visionary leader with ambitions to scale Thompson’s influence to serve even more children and families in need.
