Cause Strategy Partners invites applications for Nonprofit Board Fellowship

A certified B-corporation, Cause Strategy Partners works at the intersection of nonprofits and corporations to connect diverse and talented professionals interested in board service with value-aligned nonprofits seeking new board members.

To that end, the organization invites applications to its Nonprofit Board Fellowship, which was born out of a commitment to advancing authentic leadership on nonprofit boards. The fellowship experience is designed to connect leaders of color across the United States to nonprofit board roles and, once elected, provide the training and support needed to excel.

Selected fellows have the opportunity to be matched with a top-choice, vetted nonprofit board for consideration as a future board member through Cause Strategy Partners’ flagship program, BoardLead; become BoardLearn Certified through a six-hour online, best-in-class board member boot camp; access ongoing training with experts in the nonprofit board governance field; and connect with other Nonprofit Board Service Fellows on a similar journey.

To be eligible, applicants must be mid- to senior-level professionals of color with at least eight years of professional experience; community-driven individuals seeking to become more involved in nonprofit work and find a way to serve their cause; rising leaders looking to further their skills and connect with others in a hands-on service environment; and professionals prepared to make a commitment to nonprofit board service and the full fellowship process, including attending all fellowship convenings.
