About The Position

The Leadership Board helps complete launch steps 8–10 and supports operation of a live LifeWise program. Board members provide input and direction to the program director as they manage day-to-day operations, and help oversee the five areas of operations: Leadership, Location, Logistics, Loot, and Language. The board should have three to nine members in addition to the program director, represent at least three churches and the broader Christian community, and assign responsibility for each of the five areas. Members may oversee more than one area.

Members are expected to meet the role's faith and church-participation expectations, complete role-specific training and periodic background and child-safety training, execute the pre-launch T-Minus Plan, participate in fundraising and meetings, pray for the local program, and commit to at least one year of service. Leadership Board members may not hold paid positions within the program while serving on the board. Members should demonstrate commitment to the program's gospel-centered purposes and have the skills and relationships needed to carry out board responsibilities.
