Board Member Needed- Marketing or Communications Experience (Serve Virtually)

Save to Favorites

Are you looking for easy, but meaningful, ways to serve on a nonprofit board without spreading yourself too thin? Consider volunteering on our board virtually. As the writer John Holmes stares, "There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up." At YESLiberia, we create opportunities for folks like you to reach down and exercise your heart with generosity as a board member.

Serving with YESLiberia will also provide you an excellent opportunity to learn about Liberia’s history and progress. For instance, did you know that Liberia is the only African country founded with the help of freed slaves from the USA? Did you know Liberia is the first African country to elect a female president? Sadly, Liberia is also one of only two countries in the world where young people are less educated than their parents. Let’s change this fact together from the comfort of your home!

Each of our board members has professionally experience from various lines of work, not necessarily from the nonprofit sector. For us, the passion to serve people, to make difference, and to spread generosity are more important than any professional experience. If that sounds like you, we urge you to join us. Together, we can provide impactful and innovative solutions for Liberia’s youngest and most vulnerable.

As a board member, you’ll join an existing team to help do the following:

• Participate in the conversations during our virtual meetings (one-hour conference calls every 30 days).
• Help develop and implement strategies for our programs and operations.
• Vote on issues discussed and hold the Board Chair accountable to the bylaws.
• Make personal contributions to support the cause or educate your network about the organization-- help open doors for the organization by inviting others to contribute.
• Attend our annual Board retreat in September, October, or November!
• Help lead or implement a better partnership strategy or fundraising strategy with the help of existing board members and volunteers
• Help recruit new board members as once a year

While anyone is encouraged to apply, for this position, we are particularly interested in applicants with some experience in either Africa, fundraising, grant writing, communications, establishing partnerships or any experience with Charity.

We invite you to apply and start creating meaningful impacts almost effortlessly!
