Board of Directors
Are you interested in working to end sexual violence in your community?
Would you like to join our Board of Directors?
Your support and expertise are needed.
We work to build a board of individuals that have passion for our mission and are willing to devote approximately 4-8 hours a month of time via board meetings, committee meetings, emails and other activities, to help us strengthen and grow the organization. Board membership is a volunteer duty. We do ask every board member to make an annual personal donation to our general fund at a level they are comfortable with. We take engagement seriously and request our board members to agree to attend 75% of our board meetings, committee meetings and events each fiscal year. We need and appreciate many skill sets, but will give preference to individuals that will participate in fundraising and ambassadorship of the mission.
For questions regarding joining Avalon Healing Center's Board of Directors, please email board@avalonhealing.org.
