The Opportunity: The EFry Hope and Help for Women is seeking new Board Members who are passionate about our mission and values to join our Volunteer Board. The Organization: The EFry Hope and Help for Women is an independent, not for profit charitable organization that supports some of society’s most vulnerable populations – women, girls and children at risk, involved in or affected by the justice system. We run more than two dozen programs that work to break the cycle of poverty, addiction, mental illness, homelessness and crime. EFry clients range in age from newborn to senior citizens. Most live in poverty. Some are homeless. Many are without support networks or the tools necessary to build a brighter future for themselves and their families. Virtually all are either at risk of becoming involved, involved or affected by the justice system. EFry helps 5,000+ clients every year through our programs. Our funding comes from a combination of government contracts and private sector donations. Volunteers are a vital part of the EFry family. Forty-nine (49) years ago, a small group of volunteers who were determined to make a difference created EFry after witnessing the treatment of women in the justice system. Today, volunteers remain at the heart of all we do, supporting our programs in prisons, at our facilities and in the community. The Role: EFry Board members direct and lead in the Vision, Mission and Values, and work in collaboration with the Executive Director to ensure sound governance oversight. The board provides mission-based leadership and strategic insight, while day-to-day operations are led by the Executive Director. The Board – Management relationship is a partnership and the committed engagement of the board is both critical and expected. &nbsp;
