JOIN THE

Alternative House Board of Directors

Alternative House is seeking passionate, community-minded leaders to join our Board of Directors. Board members play a critical volunteer role in guiding our mission to provide safety, support, and hope for individuals and families affected by domestic violence.

What Board Members Do

Our Board oversees the governance, strategic direction, and financial health of the organization. Members work collaboratively to ensure Alternative House operates ethically, transparently, and effectively. Key responsibilities include:

  • Supporting long-term strategic planning and organizational oversight

  • Reviewing budgets, policies, and financial reports

  • Participating in fundraising and community engagement

  • Serving on at least one committee or event team

  • Providing thoughtful leadership, expertise, and advocacy

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome individuals who bring a genuine passion for our mission and a commitment to ethical governance, collaboration, and community service. Strong communication skills, a willingness to engage in fundraising, and the ability to leverage personal or professional networks are highly valued. Prior leadership or nonprofit experience is helpful but not required.

Commitment

Board members typically commit a few hours per month. Meetings are held every other month, with additional time dedicated to committee participation and supporting events.

Make an Impact

By joining the Board of Directors, you help ensure that survivors of domestic violence have access to the safety, resources, and support they deserve. Your leadership, expertise, and community connections directly strengthen our work and expand our impact. If you're ready to help shape the future of Alternative House, we’d love to connect with you.
