    Description

    Volunteer Board of Directors

    đź”§ The Opportunity

    We are forming our founding Volunteer Board of Directors to help guide growth, strengthen operations, and expand impact in the community.

    This is a hands-on, mission-driven board—not just advisory. You’ll help shape programs, support youth, and build something that lasts.

    🎯 Board Member Responsibilities

    • Attend monthly board meetings (virtual or in-person)
    • Support strategic planning and growth
    • Help secure donations, sponsorships, and partnerships
    • Provide guidance in your area of expertise
    • Advocate for youth programs and community engagement
    • Uphold the mission and values of Vaca Bikes

    🧠 Ideal Skills (we don’t expect one person to have all)

    We are especially looking for people with experience in:

    • Youth development / mentorship
    • Nonprofit leadership or startup building
    • Fundraising & grant writing
    • Marketing / social media
    • Bike industry or hands-on trades
    • Education or school partnerships
    • Legal, finance, or operations

    🔥 Youth Board Positions (Ages 14–18)

    We are also recruiting teen board members who want to step into leadership.

    Youth members will:

    • Represent the voice of the program
    • Help plan events and ride-outs
    • Support social media and outreach
    • Learn leadership, communication, and decision-making

    👉 This is a real leadership role—not just a title.

    💯 What You’ll Gain

    • Direct impact on local youth
    • Leadership experience in a growing organization
    • Opportunity to build something from the ground up
    • Strong community connections
    • Resume-building experience (especially for teens)
