Description
Atlas Assistance Dogs(R) (Atlas) is looking for a few key people to expand our board.
We are looking for people with experience or connections in these areas:
* volunteer management/outreach/human resources
* fund-development and non profit leadership
* active or networked in various disabilities communities
* marketing and communications
We are looking for someone to create strategy and organization for volunteer management and to help us ensure we are able to both recruit and retain quality people. A key part of this role is also coordinating outreach in various communities.
Our organization is in its 4th year and thus still young and at a great point to have significant influence. Ours is largely a working board, and we are looking for people who want to be involved and make an impact. Location does not matter; we have people across the US.
Passion and interest about the service dog and/or disability community is strongly appreciated. We welcome and encourage anyone with a disability to join our team!
This role is crucial to our ongoing sustainability. Please let us know if you have experience and are interested.
Atlas Assistance Dogs is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit working to ensure access to assistance dogs for anyone who would benefit from them by bringing qualify training and certification to the individual wishing to be part of training their own dog.
