Girls on the Run of Los Angeles County is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a world where every girl knows and activates her limitless potential and is free to boldly pursue her dreams. We value the dignity and humanity of all people and are dedicated to being an inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible organization.

Our organization is currently seeking volunteers to serve on our Board of Directors. Because we serve girls from a wide variety of life experience and backgrounds, it is important to us that our Board of Directors reflects our whole community, therefore we are seeking representation from all parts of our community.

We are an active board, with each member committed to the strategic management of the organization. In addition to fulfilling governance responsibilities, board members lead key functions such as finance, strategic advancement, communications, and fund development. In partnership with our staff, we are committed to further expanding our reach across LA County. A diversity of skills, talents and experiences is key to our success. Every year we conduct a board assessment to determine our recruiting priorities for the upcoming year. We are currently looking for the following skills:

Corporate or government relations expertise: Experience navigating public or private sector partnerships, policy, or institutional engagement.
Fundraising influence and networks: Connections, experience, or willingness to engage in cultivating major donors and philanthropic partners.
School district experience: Understanding of K–12 systems, school partnerships, and the needs of students and educators.
Strong ties to priority communities: Individuals who live or work in the West San Gabriel Valley, South El Monte, or South Los Angeles and can authentically represent and advocate for these communities.
Legal expertise: Background in law that can support governance, compliance, contracts, and risk management.

Interested individuals are not required to have any previous board experience. There are no specific educational or professional requirements to join.
