Volunteer Board Member

About the Organization

Angelic Musings y Virtudes is a sanctuary and temple founded on the values of Peace, Love, and Freedom. We uplift and support the well-being of marginalized communities—especially BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and diffabled people—through a holistic approach that integrates self-elevation, resilient community building, and socio-ecological regeneration to restore connection with ourselves, each other, Mother Earth, and the Divine.

Opportunity

Angelic Musings y Virtudes is recruiting founding Board Members to help us officially incorporate (Miami, FL), pursue federal 501(c)(3) status, and help us establish a physical presence in Puerto Rico.

This is a volunteer Board, meaning Board Members are not compensated. Members contribute time, expertise, care, and leadership to help establish strong governance, guide strategic growth, and support fundraising and partnership development.

We are seeking mission-aligned leaders who understand that a strong Board is an essential impact multiplier—especially for a values-driven organization working at the intersection of wellness, Spirituality, community care, and socio-ecological regeneration.

Estimated time commitment: ~4–10 hours/month (plus occasional events/outreach), with meetings held virtually unless otherwise noted.

What Board Service Entails

Board Members are expected to:

• Understand and champion the organization’s mission, programs, and evolving needs.
• Review Board materials ahead of meetings (strategic plans, budgets, financials, key documents).
• Attend and actively participate in Board meetings and committee work.
• Serve as ambassadors—helping expand visibility, credibility, partnerships, and support.
• Participate in fundraising in ways that fit your capacity (e.g., introductions, sponsorship outreach, grant strategy support, donor cultivation, and/or hosting small gatherings).
• Make a meaningful personal contribution that is aligned with your means.
• Engage in learning opportunities to stay grounded in the lived realities of the communities we serve.
• Uphold a culture of respect in the Boardroom by honoring diverse lived experiences, viewpoints, identities, and wisdom.
• Lead with integrity and align with our values of Peace, Love, and Freedom.
