We're growing and we're preparing to expand our board. The ideal candidates must be committed to our mission to help people to "BE" who they are wherever they are. This means pushing yourself to think about what it takes to drive innovative solutions that motivate true change-makers who are unafraid to not only break the mold but also be relatable and reliable community emergency responders when needed. We're not an ordinary nonprofit, so if you're looking for ordinary, we're probably not the best fit. We are passionate about making a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of the people we seek to serve and connect with, and we want to serve as a conduit to resources and relationships. We believe in holistic support and building wrap-around services for our constituents. 

 

We're looking for individuals who are ready to take on a leadership position and want to help direct a growing national organization with a bold and evolutionary mission to support people throughout diverse life cycles. We are seeking members who can actively engage in and guide efforts to shape and strengthen our programmatic direction, strategic vision, financial stability, and community presence. The ideal candidate is someone who can be an effective fundraiser for BE! @ Community Initiatives (i.e. has a strong network of contacts that can be solicited for contributions, fundraising events, programs, etc.).
