The Coalition to End Homelessness is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven, organization with a mission to "End Homelessness through changing lives".
We believe it is important to include people who have experienced homelessness at all levels of our organization. We are currently looking for Board members who have prior homeless experience. The ideal candidate was homeless at some time, is willing to admit it, and is now financially secure with secure housing.
As a board member the amount of time you commit depends somewhat on your choices. We have six meetings a year, mostly on zoom and some other activities. Board members are also asked to serve on two committees.
