Save to Favorites

If you believe that education is the path to a brighter future and want to create opportunities for an indigenous community in Guatemala to develop the skills needed to effect change in their lives, we have a chair for you at our boardroom table.

Our expectations are simple. Board members must:

• Commit to a 3-year director term.
• Commit to LHI’s vision, mission, and policies.
• Attend 4 board meetings per year (via teleconference) and the annual board retreat (in-person in the U.S.).
• Invest 3-10 hours/month to actively serve on at least one committee (governance, fundraising, programs and staffing, or finance).
• Make LHI one of their top philanthropic priorities, including an annual gift that is personally significant.
• Be an active spokesperson for LHI by raising awareness about, and funds for, LHI within their networks.

Limitless Horizons Ixil (LHI) is looking for passionate, talented and committed people to:

• Lend their passion, skills, expertise, and connections to help deepen and scale our impact.
• Collaborate with our board team to provide strategic leadership, secure funding, and set meaningful goals and effective policies.
• Bring experience in a relevant area, such as non-profit governance, fundraising, marketing, communications, networking, strategic planning, organizational development, change and talent/growth management, risk management, and community, international, and/or youth development.

When you join the LHI board, you join a creative, passionate, and committed group of individuals with experience in a variety of fields. We have a high rate of board member satisfaction; 100% of our board members have renewed their initial 3-year term.

(Board members can be citizens/residents of any country.)

Limitless Horizons Ixil is a registered US 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a registered Guatemalan non-governmental organization. We have a 14-year track record creating opportunities for the indigenous youth, women, and families of Chajul, Guatemala to develop the academic and professional skills needed to effect change in their lives and community. Our 4 core programs are: a youth development program; an emerging leaders program; a community library with integrated literacy programming; and an artisan income-generation program.
