Mission: The mission of the Associate Board of Day One is to help support Day One in our efforts to provide legal services, preventive education and peer leadership opportunities to NYC youth. Our goal is to increase the awareness of Day One, support the functioning of the organization and help put an end to domestic violence in our community.
Associate Board Description: The Associate Board is a hands-on group of young professionals that provides advice, assistance, and imagination to the staff and Board of Day One. The Associate Board is a group with strong ties to the community, knowledge of what's happening around town, and a commitment to philanthropy and volunteerism. Each individual member brings unique talents that might include expertise in domestic violence, youth issues, education, legal services, policy, fundraising, event planning, nonprofit administration, and the diverse community that is New York City.
As an Associate Board member, you will:
-Assist Day One in promoting programs, services and events by forwarding information to friends, colleagues, and others, encouraging their involvement in Day One.
-Provide advice to Day One staff – in your area of expertise – on issues such as fundraising, media relations, community outreach, programming for NYC youth, trainings for NYC professionals, serving NYC youth in a culturally appropriate manner, local social service and school-based referrals, policy development and administrative matters.
-Help plan and participate in community events such as client-needs drive, happy hours or fundraising runs.
-Develop knowledge about Day One's programs by attending a community-based workshop and other events during the year, meeting the staff of the organization and maintaining current knowledge of Day One's partnerships and activities through the Day One website.
The board meets periodically in the evenings and has subcommittees that meet more freuently to plan events and activities.
