When Campus Kitchen volunteers finally hang up their aprons and hairnets, graduate, and move on to pursue their futures, national staff members at The Campus Kitchens Project aren’t surprised to hear that many of these conditioned leaders choose to pursue graduate school or careers in public service.

Students who spend their free college hours doing direct service through meal shifts often continue studies or make a career of giving back, and many rise to the top.

One bi-annual opportunity could give recent college grads, graduate students, and additions to the non-profit workforce another step up in the world of public service.

The Young Nonprofit Professionals Network just released its applications for national board members to serve starting January 1, 2011 for a two-year term.

See the information below to determine if this opportunity is right for you.

*******************************************************

Looking to take your leadership to the next level? If you are committed to nonprofits, ready for a new challenge, and want to help lead the YNPN movement, we encourage you to apply here by September 27 for a two-year term (Jan. 1, 2011 – Dec. 31, 2012) with the YNPN National Board

We are a working board, helping to steer the course of YNPN’s growth, national presence, committees, programs, and activities. We are looking particularly for people with skills and experience in:
• strategy and organization development,
• familiarity with organizations comprised of geographically diverse chapters,
• advocacy and/or marketing and public relations,
• financial oversight,
• fundraising (foundations, individuals, sponsorships), and
• technology.

Most importantly, we are seeking people who are passionate about the YNPN movement, are committed and follow through on their word, and are excellent project and volunteer managers. We also want to continue to diversify the board, not only in terms of race, gender etc., but also in terms of professions, geography, and involvement with YNPN chapters.

Below is a link to the board application, which will give you more information about the opportunities and responsibilities that come with National Board membership and the complete process to apply.

This is an exciting time for the organization and board members will benefit from incredible professional and personal development opportunities. We hope you will consider joining us!
