CONNECTING VOLUNTEERS TO BOARD SERVICE

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Board Connect helps you find nonprofits making an impact in causes you care about.

Use the Board Connect website to explore and find a nonprofit(s) whose missions aligns with your values.

Then, select the ‘vacancy’ button and introduce yourself to arrange a meeting with the nonprofit and find the right board, committee or taskforce opportunity right for you.

“I was looking for volunteer positions that connected to my current work as well as something I could put my talents to use right away. Board Connect made it easy for me to find available opportunities. ”

“I have a great career and didn’t know how easy and needed it is to provide my leadership skills to a nonprofit. I’ve learned so much about things I care about outside of work by being on the board. I can volunteer my time, and because I love nature, it meets my personal needs, too!”

“I like to think that my board opportunity found me rather than the other way around. That is how easy it was to use Board Connect to search for a position I was not only interested in, but also a good fit. My choice to seek out volunteering with a non-profit was simple – I was looking for an opportunity to give back to the community in a deep and meaningful way.”
