About The Position

The Leadership Board assists with completing launch steps 8–10 and operating the live program. Board members provide input and direction to the program director as they manage day-to-day operations, and support 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 contain proper messaging).
