On behalf of the Kaizen Foundation of North Carolina, I am excited to extend an invitation for you to consider joining our Board of Directors. We are currently seeking passionate, committed individuals to fill open seats on our nine-member board as we continue to build a financially empowered and resilient community.

Our Vision

We aim to be a leading resource in advancing financial literacy, fostering economic resilience, and promoting generational wealth across North Carolina and beyond.
