Hands4Hope - Youth Making A Difference has an opportunity for local leaders to join its Board of Directors. We are looking for individuals who have a passion for volunteering and for the Hands4Hope mission of inspiring and empowering youth in leadership and service.
The Board of Directors
meets 5-6 times per year,
participates in various events throughout the year,
brings expertise in areas relevant to the organization, such as nonprofit governance, estate planning, marketing and communications, finance, law, education/youth development, and behavioral health,
is willing to help raise funds and build community engagement.
As we build for the future, we especially want to hear from people with experience in fundraising and development, community and donor relationships, or marketing and communications. If you care about supporting youth and families in our community and want to put your skills to work, we would love to talk.
If you or someone you know might be a good fit, please send an email to Jennifer Bassett at jbassett@hands4hopeyouth.org or contact us at info@hands4hopeyouth.org, and put Hands4Hope Board in the subject line.
"Volunteering for Hands4Hope has provided me with a sense of purpose following retirement. I enjoy the network of amazing adult volunteers, the impressive Hands4Hope staff and leadership are a joy to work with, and I am inspired by the youth who show up enthusiastically to meet each challenge with compassion, energy, curiosity and commitment to make a positive difference through service to their community." Board Director Tracy Messineo
"It’s all about the youth! I love watching how they work together as a team, breaking out of their comfort levels and gaining confidence. They are dedicated, articulate and passionate about bettering their community and themselves. Being a board member takes about an hour a week for periodic board and committee meetings and fundraising events. But once you start engaging with the youth, they are so inspiring and you’ll want to find more opportunities to be around them." Former Board Chair Andrea Howard
"The youth in this organization are doing some impressive work to improve their world. Engaging with the organization is a great way to help enable that work to continue and help youth grow as leaders." Board Director Matt Hinkle
