I’m Hector Cuevas. For two decades I’ve built, run, and scaled youth programs across New York City, leading multi-site operations and multimillion-dollar public budgets through every audit, opening day, and hard season. Now I bring that playbook to your organization through workshops, done-for-you systems, and strategic planning.
Crain’s New York Business 40 Under 40 · 2025Most program leaders get promoted for being great with young people, then handed leadership, systems, data, marketing, and staff wellbeing with no manual. These are the moments I’m built for.
Your supervision is improvisation, your meetings run long, and you’re leading people who used to be your peers.
Onboarding, SOPs, trackers, protocols, there’s no single hub a new hire (or a funder) can actually follow.
The numbers live in scattered spreadsheets. There’s no clean dashboard that tells your story before the auditor asks.
Recruitment is word-of-mouth and last-minute flyers. There’s no system quietly filling your seats in the background.
They want to support young people and each other, but nobody’s shown them how to spot distress, set boundaries, or refer.
Everyone’s working hard in different directions. There’s no shared plan, no shared metrics, no shared next 90 days.
Whether you need to upskill a team in an afternoon, hand a whole build off your plate, or get your leaders rowing in the same direction, there’s a clear, priced way to start.
Five hands-on topics, leadership, systems & operations, data, program marketing, and staff mental health, delivered to your team in a single focused half-day. Every one includes a prep call so it’s built around your reality.
Hand it off. I build your operational backbone, knowledge hubs, systems, dashboards, onboarding, or your recruitment & marketing engine, ready to run. Scoped together on a call so you only pay for what you need.
A facilitated session with your key leaders that turns a busy team into an aligned one, shared vision, real goals, a 90-day work plan, and the metrics to hold it. You leave with a written plan, not sticky notes.
Book a free call and tell me the problem you’re trying to solve. If a workshop fixes it, I’ll point you there. If it’s a bigger build, we’ll scope it honestly, and if I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
