Join the Associate Board of The Boulevard!

The Associate Board helps the organization in two main ways:(1) hosting fun, energetic social events for friends and colleagues, to help raise awareness and fundraising support; and (2) leveraging contacts and networking in fields like finance, marketing, fundraising, real estate/property management and the healthcare industry. Bringing new introductions and connections that might want to support The Boulevard is a really valuable way to help!

The Associate Board also volunteers at The Boulevard, by planning and serving meals. We sponsor quarterly "Share A Meals" at The Boulevard, where we put together a menu, make the meal and serve it to the residents.

Time Commitment: This group meets at least every other month, and plans events several times a year. Depending on the committee that you serve on and the position you hold, Associate Board members' time commitment is 1-2 hours per week.

Committees:

* Executive Committee = officers of the Associate Board, President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.

* Membership Recruitment Committee = in charge of seeking out new board members.

* Marketing/Social Media Committee = in charge of spreading awareness of the Associate Board and building a social media presence.

All members are responsible for helping with programming and events, including: planning and coordinating fundraising events, determining locations, negotiating deals with venue, obtaining raffle prize donations, ane ensuring turnout at events.

The Boulevard is located in East Garfied Park, just south of Humboldt Park, at 3456 W Franklin Blvd, Chicago, IL 60624.

What We Do: The Boulevard serves over 300 homeless men and women annually, helping them recover from physical injury, illness, addiction or mental health issues. After they recover, we assist residents in finding safe housing and an income if possible: our goal is to help every client leave the homeless experience permanently.
