Board Member — Board & Volunteer Recruitment

Boomers Collaborative Foundation seeks a volunteer Board member who would like to use their recruiting and relationship-building experience to help bring committed people into an innovative and urgently needed approach to affordable senior housing.

We are an Austin-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to create mixed-use, limited-equity cooperative housing where older adults can age together with greater affordability, stability, and connection. With our market study completed and funded community outreach underway, this is a meaningful time to join our Board and help move the work forward.

Our Talent Recruiter will help identify, engage, and recruit prospective Board members and volunteers whose skills and interests match the organization’s needs. Working with our President and other Board members, this person will help prospective candidates understand the work, explore where they could contribute, and move through our review and onboarding process.
