About the Role

The Company is seeking dedicated individuals to join its Board of Directors. The Board plays a crucial role in the organization's governance, strategic planning, and fundraising efforts. Members are expected to be passionate ambassadors for the mission, which is centered on the upstream prevention of homelessness. This innovative approach, rooted in values of compassion, inclusion, and social justice, has been proven to be a cost-effective and humanitarian solution, with a focus on disrupting the cycle of homelessness before it begins. Board members are elected for 3-year terms and are responsible for ensuring the organization's strategy and governance align with its mission. This includes fiduciary oversight, strategic planning, and active participation in fundraising. The ideal candidate for the Board of Directors at the company is a committed professional with a strong belief in the power of prevention. While New York City residency is not required, members are expected to be familiar with the organization's work, serve on at least one Board committee, and contribute to the annual fundraising commitment. The role is demanding but rewarding, offering the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the lives of those at risk of homelessness.
