UPDATE: The application period for 2017 youth Board Member applications is now closed. Applications for 2018 will be available in August 2017.
SSP is currently inviting high school students to apply for a position on the Board of Directors.
Every year, three young people serve alongside 15 adults as official Board Members. They help to make the decisions and set the strategies that will determine SSP’s future. Serving on SSP’s board is a wonderful way to contribute to the organization and gain valuable leadership experience. If you are interested, here is what you need to know:
- Youth Board Members must have a passion for SSP and for helping SSP serve more people and serve them better.
- We encourage high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors to apply. However, we usually select juniors.
- Board Members must be able to participate in all four of SSP’s board meetings.
- Youth members serve for one year starting at our October 14 – 16 board meeting.
- The job of a board member also involves some teleconferences and other work in addition to attending the meetings.
- You will have all of the same voting rights and obligations of an adult board member.
- All members are expected to make an annual financial contribution to SSP at a level that is personally meaningful to them.
The application period will end on August 28 – apply now!
