June 18, 2025
Sanford, NC – Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina is proud to announce the appointment of Jason Macchia as the new Unit Director of the OT Sloan Park Clubhouse in Sanford, North Carolina.
Jason brings more than two decades of experience in youth development and nonprofit leadership to the role, along with a deep-rooted passion for the Boys & Girls Club mission. His career began at the Burroughs Community Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he served as Assistant Executive Director. In that role, he partnered with Wakeman Boys & Girls Club to launch a Club branch in an underserved neighborhood and later became the Program Director for the site.
“Jason is a seasoned leader whose dedication to youth, operational excellence, and community engagement is unmatched,” said Dr. Fallon Brewington, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina. “We are thrilled to welcome him to the OT Sloan Park team and look forward to the impact his leadership will have on our members and families.”
“I’m excited to join the team,” said Macchia, “and look forward to the opportunity to have a positive impact on the youth of this community. We have a dedicated staff and great kids, and I look forward to doing great things with them at the OT Sloan Club.”
In 2010, construction began on a new stand-alone Boys & Girls Club on the community center’s grounds. Jason played a pivotal role in the planning and outfitting of the facility and was selected as the first Unit Director when the new clubhouse opened its doors in 2011.
In 2017, Jason relocated to Paris, Texas, where he served as Chief Executive Officer for the Boys & Girls Club of the Red River Valley, overseeing programs and services across Lamar and Red River Counties. Most recently, in March 2025, Jason moved to North Carolina to take on his next leadership opportunity with Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina.
“We’re excited to welcome Jason to the Sanford Club. He brings deep experience from his work with Boys & Girls Clubs in other communities, and we’re glad he’s chosen to lead here. With such a dedicated team already in place, this is a great opportunity to refocus and keep building on the strong work already being done for our kids” said Kyle Shipp, Board Chair, Boys & Girls Clubs of Central Carolina.
When he’s not at the Club, Jason enjoys spending quality time with his wife and two daughters.
