Treasurer for Safe Haven Space

Organization’s Purpose:

The purpose of Safe Haven Space is to provide refugee students access to mental health education, programs, and services.

The business and affairs of Safe Haven Space are managed by its Board of Directors, who oversee and govern the organization’s properties and funds, except as otherwise provided by the nonprofit corporation law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the organization’s Articles of Incorporation, or its Bylaws. The Board is entrusted with two primary duties: the Duty of Care and the Duty of Loyalty. The Duty of Care requires board members to act in good faith, with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a similar position would exercise under comparable circumstances, and in a manner believed to be in the best interests of the organization. The Duty of Loyalty mandates that board members prioritize the organization’s best interests above personal gains, barring any self-dealing unless fully disclosed to the board and clearly beneficial to the organization.

This may involve attending networking events and forming valuable connections. Members are also responsible for oversight, insight, and foresight of the corporation.

Each board member shall serve a one to two-year term.

Meeting Time and Communication Expectations:

Board meetings will be held monthly.

Mission Statement

Safe Haven Space is committed to offering mental health and well-being programs and education to refugee students and their families.

Description

Mental health has a harmful stigma prevalent in many communities around the world, especially among the refugee population. After being forced out of their original communities, it becomes harder for refugee students to function in both school and life settings without healing from the trauma that many encounter before, during, and after their transition to the United States of America. Our number one goal is to educate refugee students and families on the importance of well-being and mental health as well as provide mental health services to assist students in becoming self-confident so they can integrate into American society successfully. We will do this by teaching students what psychological well-being looks like, the different ways it can affect the human body, and the consequences when young people do not get the mental health care they need. We will work with students’ families to break the stigma that is commonly held in refugee households, encouraging unity within the family by offering them ways to practice and incorporate a variety of psychological fitness exercises.
