Join Our Board

This is an extraordinary opportunity for individuals who are passionate about EFry’s mission and values and who bring a track record of leadership and community commitment.

Board Members are expected to demonstrate leadership experience in sectors such as business, government, philanthropy, or the non-profit sector. Their accomplishments enhance the board’s ability to attract and engage high-performing members who contribute to EFry’s ongoing growth and impact.

EFry’s Board of Directors provides strategic oversight and guidance to the organization, helping shape the long-term vision and ensuring alignment with EFry’s mission. While day-to-day operations are led by the CEO, the Board plays a vital supervisory and advisory role.

Each director also serves on one of the Board’s three standing committees:

• Finance and Audit
• Human Resources
• Governance and Nominating

Board members are expected to attend a minimum of four meetings per year, in addition to participating in committee meetings, planning sessions, and special events.

EFry is actively recruiting Directors who are:

• Collaborative leaders who understand our community’s needs and the significance of women-only services.
• Attentive listeners who are thoughtful in addressing complex issues such as long-term housing solutions for ex-prisoners.
• Committed individuals ready to dedicate time to at least four Board meetings a year, alongside committee meetings, planning sessions, and special events.
• Knowledgeable about EFry’s mission and vision and willing to enhance our board’s effectiveness with expertise in finance and accounting, property and asset management, government relations, health, or social services and fund development.

EFry is deeply committed to equity and inclusion. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who identify as Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQIA2S+, living with disabilities, or who bring lived experience and perspectives that reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
