    Description

    Board Member – Finance & Governance

    About Us We're a growing, mission-driven organization at an early and intentional stage of building something real. Our work is rooted in care and we believe young people shouldn't just inherit the world, they should help design it. We lead with empathy, build with intention, and show up for the communities we serve. If that resonates with you, you're in the right place.

    What We're Building We're creating projects that solve real problems through innovation, equity, and justice and a future where young people lead and communities are designed with care, not overlooked. We're not a large organization yet. But what we're building is real, and we're intentional about who we invite to help shape it.

    What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who leads with empathy and genuinely cares about people and community. Someone who is curious about our story, our "why," and where we're going and who believes in young people enough to help them shape the world they're inheriting. If you're excited to grow with us and build something meaningful from the ground up, we'd love to connect.

    For this role specifically, we're seeking a finance or governance leader who can:

    • Provide oversight on financial strategy and organizational health
    • Advise on funding, sustainability, and long-term growth
    • Ensure strong governance and compliance practices
    • Support risk management and audit readiness

    Ideal Background CFO, finance executive, or nonprofit leader with experience in governance, financial oversight, and scaling organizations.

    Let's Connect We'll share more about what we're building and we'd be equally honored to hear your story. We are currently seeking a board member to join us at this early and meaningful stage.
