ORGANIZATION: The Princess Project Los Angeles Location

Do you love finding the right space and decorating it to nines? Is Interior Design your passion? Do you want to help create a beautiful space that allows teens and their families to feel comfortable and empowered to select the formal wear of that teen’s dreams for their prom or special event? Are you passionate about finding the perfect venue to encourage and celebrate the people who allow The Princess Project Los Angeles to meet our mission - our donors, partners, sponsors and volunteers? If so, please read on!

The Princess Project Los Angeles is starting its second year as a Princess Project non-profit location and we are recruiting for our Leadership Board. We are actively seeking two Site and Staging Chairs for our Los Angeles leadership board for a minimum 2-year commitment.

The Princess Project Los Angeles mission is to create a safe place for teens and their families to come to and find the formal wear desired in an environment that embraces all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, disabilities and body size. Finding the right space, creating a beautiful environment that meets the needs of our events and is decorated in a way that appeals to our volunteers, teens and their families is the primary role of the Site and Staging Chair. Due to Los Angeles’ size and the number of events we hold each year, we recommend there be two Site and Staging Co-Chairs, one focusing on working with partners to find the sites and to develop the site plans and the other to focus on decorations and building partnerships within that space. Both Site and Staging Chairs would be responsible for ongoing recruitment, selection and communication with their committee. Duties include:

  • Site Coordination and Decoration for our special programs, dress giveaways, volunteer events and fundraising events
  • Metrics - Ensure supplies are purchased, inventoried, and kept in good order between events.
  • Volunteer Management -Recruit a volunteer committee to whom you can delegate event tasks.
  • Communication, both verbal and written

The time committment for this role during these formative years varies per month but averages 10-15 hours a month except during prom season (end of February through beginning of May) where additional time may be needed at various public giveaway events. Each year, we have a three-day planning retreat for all The Princess Project leadership for the upcoming year in July or August that is required for all board members.

Description

The Princess Project is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) non-profit that began in San Francisco in 2002 and expanded into the greater Bay Area, San Diego and now is in Los Angeles.

The Princess Project Los Angeles promotes self-confidence and individual beauty by providing formal wear and accessories to high school teens who cannot otherwise afford them. Our effort is made possible through invaluable volunteer, donor, and community support via donations and financial gifts to further our goals here in the greater Los Angeles area.

By creating a positive, safe environment for teens and their families to come to and find the formal wear desired in an environment that embraces and celebrates all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientation, disabilities and bodies of all shapes and sizes, our work goes far beyond formal wear to instill a sense of pride and confidence in the thousands of teens that we reach each prom season and to help support special moments in their lives. Our goal is to reach teens at a pivotal moment in their lives and give them an experience that they will forever cherish, as we celebrate with them their passage into adulthood.
