France Culturewise Youth Temps plein
Culturewise Youth is looking for experienced nonprofit leaders to join our Board of Directors 📋 Before applying, please complete our board application: https://form.jotform.com/250496747385067 We will only consider applicants who complete this form. Culturewise Youth (CWY) builds intercultural educational experiences connecting young people across Mali, France, and the United States — working with communities, not about them. We're transitioning from a seed organization into a growing startup nonprofit, and we're looking for experienced board members who can help us reach our next level. We're especially seeking people with backgrounds in:
• Nonprofit governance — helping set direction, strategy, and oversight as we scale
• Fundraising & donor relations — leveraging networks to build sustainable funding
• Nonprofit leadership — including candidates open to officer roles (President, Treasurer, Secretary, VP) as we build out our leadership team What it means to serve as a Director: Directors are the equivalent of invested owners of the organization — not passive advisors, but people directly responsible for the success of our mission. As a Director, you would:
• Help set organizational direction, strategy, and long-term vision
• Oversee governance and regulatory compliance
• Represent and speak on behalf of Culturewise Youth at events
• Actively and independently network and fundraise on our behalf
• Participate in our Teal/self-managed culture — collaborative, transparent, and non-hierarchical Stepping into leadership: We're specifically looking for people ready to step into a leadership role on the board and help carry us to our next level. This means being willing to train and mentor others within the organization in what you know, and taking on responsibility for the success of our mission as though you were a founder — because at this stage, you are one.

Requirements:
• A significant financial commitment — through personal giving and/or donations solicited from your network
• A 3-year term commitment, with 4–10 hours/month with mandatory quarterly (and possibly emergent) board meetings
• Prior nonprofit board, officer, or leadership experience
• French and English fluency preferred but not required (English is required) This role is best suited to people who care deeply about our mission — not those seeking personal gain or visibility, as that motivation won't sustain the level of independent effort this role requires. 👉 Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/250496747385067
