Community Resource Center (CRC), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, which is a recognized leader in social services in North San Diego County, is seeking a visionary and entrepreneurial CEO to lead the organization.

CRC’s services are targeted at victims of domestic violence, episodically or transitionally
