    Description

    Seeking a Governance Legal Eagle | Potential BOD | Pro Bono Legal Help for a fun nonprofit!

    Love comedy?

    Then this volunteer position or board of director opportunity might just be your favorite gig yet.

    We’re a fun, mission-driven nonprofit looking for a seasoned legal eagle with serious chops in entertainment law—and a deep appreciation for the creative process.

    We need someone who can roll up their sleeves and:

    • Advise us on legal matters
    • Negotiate, draft, and close rights and services agreements
    • Navigate the legal side of pre-production and development
    • Vet creative content
    • Help us stay on track with board compliance

    Bonus points if you have production legal experience and understand the unique needs (and growing pains!) of entertainment-based nonprofits.

    We’re especially interested in connecting with law firms that offer pro bono assistance to orgs like ours—firms that get what it means to hustle in the arts while making an impact.

    Time Commitment:

    Flexible! We know lawyers are busy superheroes. Ideally, you'd be available for a quick monthly check-in (virtual is fine!) and reachable via email if a legal question pops up. Some months might be light, others might need a little more love—like contract review or board compliance check-ins.

    Board/Volunteer Term:

    We’d love someone who can stick with us for at least two years. That gives you time to fall in love with what we do.

    Availability:

    Mostly virtual, but if you ever wanna swing by a show and laugh your legal briefs off, we won't stop you. In fact, we’ll save you a front-row seat and a fistful of popcorn.

    What You Get:

    • A chance to support the arts in a unique way
    • Impact lives through laughter
    • Be part of a passionate, diverse, mission-driven team
    • Occasional comedy show cameos, probably unpaid, possibly unforgettable

    #1 requirement: You must love to laugh.

    (Seriously, if you don’t laugh at least once a day, we’re probably not your people.)

    Let’s talk!

    Again, virtual is fine, but nothing beats witnessing stand-up while silently judging our liability waivers.
