About the Opportunity

My ultimate goal is to find qualified people who want to volunteer on our Board of Directors. This project could accomplish that or just help me find good places to look and post notices.

Help us recruit mission-driven leaders to our nonprofit! We are seeking a volunteer to help us craft a comprehensive board recruitment plan. Project tasks will include:
-Meeting with our organization's leadership to establish which roles are vacant
-Conducting interviews with board or staff members involved in recruitment or prospecting to establish which tactics have and have not been successful in the past
-Development of the first draft of an inclusive recruitment strategy that includes clear tactics for reaching candidates representative of the community that we're serving and who meet our current needs
-Finalizing the recruitment strategy by incorporating feedback from relevant team members

We started as a grassroots organization in 2008, and have been slowly growing into a professional organization. Some of our Board members are simply senior mentors. We especially need specific roles filled including an attorney, someone from marketing, a doctor who would also attend our special events, and someone to help us with fundraising. These would help us solidify our growth in the past two years, take some of the load off of the ED and Chairman, and fulfill our goals for growth. We have brother organizations all over the country (mostly under a name that starts with "Boys to Men"), some of them are in a dozen schools with a waiting list! This is what we have our eye on, and it will be exciting for anyone who gets involved.

We are ready to interview anyone who is interested, and of course we can and would run a background check as the last stage before accepting. We have a list of roles we want to have filled, and a list of questions we would want to use to interview applicants.

Organization Mission

Our mission is to support boys during their critical teenage years as they journey from boyhood to manhood. We do this by providing group mentoring, in which caring mentors listen, accept, and encourage teenage boys to become good men.
