Join Run For It’s board of directors!
With so many challenges currently facing young people in Australia, there’s a critical need and opportunity for young leaders to step up and organise for better outcomes. Run For It is a growing organisation that supports a wider movement of young people fighting to make their voices heard.
We’re currently looking to build on our founding board team and recruit 3 new members with any of the following skills and experience:
A genuine interest and desire to systematically change our society and democracy.
Experience in campaigning or organising for social, environmental or racial justice
Experience as a board or company secretary, in legislative compliance and/or governance for a not-for-profit.
Experience in fundraising, philanthropy and/or grant writing.
We are more interested in your ability to commit time, energy, and willingness to learn than in prior formal experience. We want a board with a diversity of skills and experience, so please apply if you’re interested even if you do not meet all the specific criteria.
Additionally, we are looking to recruit someone to fulfil the role of Treasurer. This person must have some experience in a similar role, in accountancy or as a company bookkeeper.
Key responsibilities:
Advance the mission and objects of Run For It
Fundraising
Organisational development and governance
Mentor and guide the Run For It volunteer leadership team, including support to develop organisational strategy
Maintain oversight over the organisation’s budget and financial management processes
Assess and manage risk
Ensure Run For It complies with relevant requirements under the Corporations Act
Interested?
Please send us (board@run4it.org) a short cover note outlining why you are interested in joining the board and why you would be a good fit, along with a copy of your CV.
