Serving on a nonprofit board is both impactful and rewarding—offering opportunities to expand professional networks, develop leadership skills, and help shape programs that strengthen inclusive communities.

Who We’re Looking For:

Diverse boards make better decisions. Achieva welcomes candidates with a wide range of professional, personal, and lived experiences—including emerging leaders and first-time board members.

Ideal candidates are engaged in their communities, willing to support fundraising and attend events, and interested in contributing to nonprofit governance.

Experience that strengthens our board includes:

Information Technology, Finance, Law, Nonprofit or Government, Executive Leadership, Entrepreneurial or Start-Up Experience, and Advertising or Publishing.
