About The Position

The Leadership Board supports the completion of launch steps 8–10 and helps operate the live LifeWise program. Board members provide input and direction to the program director as they manage day-to-day operations, and contribute across the five areas of operations: Leadership (recruiting and onboarding program staff and volunteers), Location (researching, securing, and preparing facilities and transportation), Logistics (coordinating details and maintaining positive communications with the school), Loot (leading fundraising and managing the budget and finances), and Language (ensuring public communications are excellent and convey appropriate messaging).

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 operational areas. A member may be responsible for more than one area.

Board members may not hold a paid position within the program while serving. Each member must provide contact information for a local church leader at a church in which they actively participate.
