    Description

    About us

    Pickleball Forward Foundation is a Seattle nonprofit. Our mission is to empower youth and build community through accessible, high-quality pickleball programs that celebrate the joy and power of play. Through our Let's Play Pickleball program, we run after-school pickleball classes, summer camps, tournaments, and clinics across the Greater Seattle Area. Scholarships keep cost from being a barrier for families.

    The opportunity

    We're a young, growing organization. We're looking for 2 new board members to help shape our strategy, strengthen our governance, and set us up for the next stage of growth. You'll have a real voice early on.

    We especially need experience in:

    • Finance / accounting (budgeting, financial oversight, Form 990)
    • Fundraising, grants, or corporate partnerships
    • Education or school partnerships (Seattle Public Schools experience is a plus)
    • Legal or nonprofit governance
    • Marketing and communications

    No pickleball experience needed. Enthusiasm for kids, play, and community is.

    Location

    Board members must be based in the Greater Seattle Area.

    Commitment

    • 2-year term, renewable
    • Quarterly board meetings (in person in Seattle or virtual, about 2 hours each)
    • About 2–4 hours a month in total, including committee or project work
    • Volunteer role (unpaid)
