Board of Directors Opportunities

We love our Board members! While our selection process is closed for 2024, we’re excited about the future and intend to welcome new voices to our team in early 2025! In the meantime, you’re welcomed to complete the interest form and you will be notified via email when our Board selection process reopens.

Since we serve girls from a wide variety of life experience and background, it’s important to us that our Board of Directors reflects our community as a whole, and individuals bring complimentary skills and expertise. We also strongly recommend Board candidates have previous experience with Girls on the Run, so we encourage you to check out the variety of volunteer opportunities we offer as you consider Board application!
