About The Position

The Leadership Board supports completion of launch steps 8–10 and helps operate the live program. Board members provide input and direction to the program director as they manage day-to-day operations and assist with 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 communication with the school), Loot (leading fundraising and budgeting and managing finances), and Language (ensuring public communications are excellent and use appropriate messaging).

The board should have three to nine members in addition to the program director, represent at least three different churches and the broader Christian community, and include someone responsible for each of the five operational areas. Individual members may be responsible for more than one area. Board members may not hold a paid position within the program while serving on its leadership board.

Members are expected to have a mature Christian faith aligned with the LifeWise Academy Statement of Faith, actively participate in a like-minded local church, complete role-specific training, and provide contact information for a local church leader. They must complete a background check and Child Abuse Awareness and Mandated Reporting training every three years; diligently execute the T-Minus Plan before launch; participate in fundraising and scheduled meetings; serve for at least one year; and consistently pray for the local program. Members should demonstrate commitment to the gospel-centered purposes of a local LifeWise program and have the skills, knowledge, and relationships to help it succeed.
