We are seeking senior-level business people, preferably C-suite, who believe in the power of business to reduce violence, to join our productive and passionate Board of Directors at Bpeace.
Poised to scale, Bpeace is at a strategic inflection point and is looking for Board Directors who can apply their business experience to propel the organization to reach more entrepreneurs and touch more lives.
Through our pro bono consulting model, business professionals contribute knowledge and skills to strengthen and grow small and medium-sized businesses with momentum in El Salvador, Guatemala and Afghanistan. In 2015, we provided $1.8 million worth of pro bono consulting services to 65 businesses to accelerate the growth of jobs and cut the oxygen to violence.

Mission Statement
We believe the path to peace is lined with jobs. We work with entrepreneurs in crisis-affected communities to scale their businesses, create significant employment for all and expand the economic power of women.
Description
We deliver high-quality customized business consulting through volunteer business experts we call "Skillanthropists," to carefully vetted small and medium-size businesses we call "Fast Runners."
Together we are in pursuit of a common vision; we believe that employment is the bridge to education, poverty reduction, improved health and ultimately less violence; and that jobs for women are vital to women’s advancement and to elevating their peaceful influence on society.
In 2022, Bpeace Skillanthropists are working with 130+ small and medium-size business owners in the U.S., El Salvador, Guatemala and Afghanistan. More than 42,000 family members depend on the jobs these Fast Runners provide.
