    Description

    Community Advisory Board Member (Charleston, WV)

    Youth Haven Ministries | Charleston, WV (In-Person & Remote Options)

    Lend your expertise. Guide our mission. Help shape a brighter future for local youth.

    About the Opportunity:

    Youth Haven Ministries is a growing grassroots nonprofit committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces where teens feel valued and supported—no matter their background. We are seeking dedicated Advisory Board Members to provide strategic advice, community insights, and guidance as we expand our youth outreach programs in West Virginia.

    This is not a governance or fiduciary role like our Board of Directors, but a flexible advisory position designed for busy professionals, community leaders, and parents who want to make a meaningful difference without a heavy time commitment.

    What You'll Do:

    • Share your expertise and perspective to help shape Youth Haven’s programs and outreach strategies
    • Provide insight on community needs, trends, and potential partnerships
    • Support fundraising and awareness efforts by connecting us with local networks
    • Attend quarterly meetings (in-person or virtual) and participate in occasional special projects
    • Advocate for Youth Haven’s mission within your professional and community circles

    What We’re Looking For:

    • Professionals, parents, or community leaders passionate about youth empowerment and inclusion
    • Strong communication skills and willingness to share ideas constructively
    • Commitment to attend 4 meetings per year plus occasional calls or events
    • Alignment with our inclusive, faith-based mission that welcomes all youth, including LGBTQ+
    • Experience in areas such as education, business, nonprofit management, youth services, marketing, law, or community organizing is a plus but not required

    Why Join Our Advisory Board?

    • Influence the growth and impact of a grassroots youth nonprofit right here in your community
    • Make a tangible difference in the lives of teens facing challenges of identity, belonging, and purpose
    • Flexible, respectful of your time with remote participation options
    • Network with like-minded professionals and community advocates
    • Receive recognition for your service and opportunities to contribute to meaningful projects
    • Help build a legacy of inclusive, compassionate youth support that lasts

    Youth Haven Ministries is a progressive, Christ-centered, LGBTQ+ affirming nonprofit focused on loving and serving youth without judgment or pressure.

    Interested?

    We’d love to discuss how your skills and passion can help shape our future. Please email us a brief introduction and any relevant background. Let’s work together to build a stronger community for all youth. Please fill out this application as well:
