About The Asylum Project:

We focus on systemic change, refugee support, and building pathways to real safety when American systems fail to provide it.
Position Overview:
We are actively seeking mission-driven individuals to serve on our Board of Directors. As a board member, you’ll provide strategic guidance, oversight, and support to our executive team as we build sustainable systems for sanctuary, advocacy, and community support.

- Experience in nonprofit leadership or operations
- Skills in finance, accounting, or budgeting
- Background in law, immigration, or human rights
- Knowledge of real estate (domestic or international)
- Experience with fundraising, grant writing, or advocacy
- Lived experience within marginalized communities (especially LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled)
We value professional expertise, but mission alignment is our top priority. If you are passionate about justice, equity, and creating safe exits for those in danger, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities Include:
- Attending monthly Executive Team meetings and quarterly full Board meetings (remote)

Please submit a short statement (1–2 paragraphs) letting us know why this opportunity resonates with you. We’re especially interested in what draws you to our mission and how you see yourself contributing to our work.
Feel free to upload a résumé or LinkedIn profile if you’d like, but it’s not required—we value lived experience and passion just as much as formal credentials.
Selected applicants will be contacted for an informal conversation with our COO (that’s me!) to explore alignment and answer any questions.
