Call for New Trustees
Schools for Children is looking for volunteers interested in joining our Board of Trustees - individuals who believe in the power of education to transform learning and transform lives. Our programs are all about personalized learning, believing in the power of community, promoting social-emotional learning and striving for academic excellence. Join us in shaping the future of our schools and programs and help us make a difference in the lives of our students.
About Our Board of Trustees
Schools for Children is governed by an elected Board of Trustees. The Trustees are active leaders in their own professional and civic circles and share a commitment to providing quality educational and support services to today’s children and adolescents.
Trustees become involved in issues relating to independent schooling (Lesley Ellis School), extended learning programs (Winn Brook Extended Learning) and therapeutic special education settings (Dearborn Academy, Dearborn STEP and Seaport Academy). They are provided a rare opportunity to make a direct and meaningful contribution to today’s young people through their active participation on our Board.
We seek a diverse Board reflective of the different constituencies served by Schools for Children. Trustees are elected to serve three-year terms; multiple terms are both permitted and encouraged. The Board of Trustees ordinarily meets 5 times per year to exert leadership over the affairs of the corporation; sub-committees meet an additional 5 or 6 times per year.
