Adminstration

Like other Boards, we serve in a governance role with fiduciary responsibility.  Additionally, we run the organization with the help of our program coordinators (stipened consultants) and other volunteer leaders. Thus, we are not only a governing board but also a working board.  By joining our Board, we will give you the unique opportunity to help run an award-winning organization providing vital services to displaced Africans and we in turn ask you to “roll up your sleeves” and work.  We are currently trying to expand our Board and build out our volunteer leadership to run programs and the organization.  In time, we envision that we will hire paid staff again and move from a working board to a governing board.  In the meantime, we hope you will be interested in joining the talented and dedicated team that comprises our Board of Directors!  For more info, click on the title
