Opportunity Details

ELAP is a nonprofit dedicated to working with people facing domestic violence, housing, financial, healthcare, immigration, and other issues that need a legal solution. ELAP believes that everyone deserves access to legal help. An experience with domestic violence, an unexpected medical bill, unfair eviction, or other life challenge can set people back financially, physically, and psychologically. Yet, people often don’t know how to exercise their legal rights. Legal aid is a tool that can prevent poverty and injustice. Our staff and volunteer lawyers work for free with people facing domestic violence, housing, financial, healthcare, and other problems that need a legal solution.

Role Description
ELAP is seeking applicants to serve on our board of directors. We are a financially stable 501(c)(3) in our 35th year of operation. The ELAP Board works to provide strategic governance for the organization. All Board members serve on a Board committee through which they provide more tactical support of ELAP’s mission, including supporting development efforts, implementing organizational policies, and program development and implementation.

Role Qualifications
We acknowledge that board service is a privilege often limited to individuals who are socially advantaged, based on their gender, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or race. While we value past board experience, we also value a board composition that reflects the clients that ELAP serves and brings specific skill sets or professional expertise to ELAP's work. If you are passionate about our work, interested in investing your time and experience in our organization, and value growth and learning, we encourage all applications, regardless of previous experience.

We are seeking applicants who complement and expand the skills, professional backgrounds, and lived experiences of our existing board members. While finance, public health, marketing, development, and HR expertise are our primary needs currently, we encourage all individuals from traditionally underserved populations to apply.

Service Specifics
Board members commit to the following terms:
* Volunteer for a 3-year term with the possibility of renewal.
* Regularly attend board meetings which happen up to 8 times a year (via Zoom with 2 - 3 in- person meetings each calendar year)
* Serve on and/or chair at least one committee (ex. Governance, Development, Board Recruitment, Attorney Volunteer, Finance).
* Spend an average of 6 to 10 hours a month doing board work: attending regular meetings, participating in committee work, and being an ambassador in the community.
* Assist with fundraising, including sponsorships, ticket sales to annual Breakfast for Justice Fundraiser, and serving as table Captain at Breakfast for Justice (filling at least one table with guests.
* Make a personally meaningful annual donation. Please note that ELAP Board members do not have a minimum "give get" financial responsibility.

Board Service Description
When it comes to serving on a non-profit board, especially one that operates as a "working board," there are several key expectations for board members. These expectations ensure the organization’s effectiveness, mission alignment, and overall success.
1. Compliance and Legal Standards: Board members must adhere to all legal requirements and regulations applicable to non-profit organizations. This includes understanding their fiduciary duties, avoiding conflicts of interest, and ensuring transparency in financial matters.
2. Regular Board Meeting Attendance: Consistent and prepared participation at board meetings is crucial. Board members must review the board materials prior to each Board meeting, arrive promptly and attend the entire Board meeting, actively engage in discussions, and contribute to decision-making.
3. Commitment to the success of the Breakfast for Justice: Board members actively support ELAP’s largest annual fundraiser, the Breakfast for Justice. Each Board member serves as a table captain (filling at least one table with guests), assists with recruiting sponsors, solicits donations to ELAP through a personal fundraising page and related efforts. In addition, Board members actively support fundraising initiatives by making personal contributions, leveraging their networks, and attending fundraising and donor cultivation events.
4. Committee Involvement: Committees handle specific tasks such as finance, governance, Board recruitment, or program development. To enhance the Board’s overall effectiveness, Board members participate actively in their committees' work. Board members must attend committee meetings consistently, actively engage in discussions, and contribute to decision-making.
5. Leveraging Personal and Professional Networks: Board members use their connections to benefit the organization. Whether it is introducing potential donors, collaborating with other organizations, or securing resources, their networks play a vital role.
6. Conduct: Board members act with honesty and integrity and always act for the good of the organization and the people it serves. They keep confidential information confidential. They work with and respect the opinions of staff members and those who serve on the Board and leave personal prejudices out of all board discussions.

We partner with you to faciliate 3-4 hour onsite Volunteer Working Bee Events in the greater Sydney area. Our founder will be onsite for the event, providing live demonstrations to help kick things off, then walking around the room providing additional one-on-one support during the day.

Goal: Volunteers help finish final assembly of quilts by tying knots to secure all three layers as well as hand sewing labels to the back of each quilt to be donated

How you can help: No prior sewing skills required - if you can tie your shoes you can help us finish quilts to be donated for seriously ill and traumatized children

We will provide your volunteers with work kits that include:
(1) Pre-made quilt tops with backing, ready for final assembly
(2) Scissors, needles, thread and blanket labels
(3) Step by step instructions including pictures

In addition to scheduling volunteers ready to work for 3 hours, we also need for you to provide a large room with long folding tables that will be our workspace. Roughly 2-4 volunteers can work at each table on the day. Typically volunteers find that standing while they work is ideal, so we would not need chairs for everyone on the day.

Join us in reaching our goal by lending a hand. Your support will play a crucial role in helping us achieve our objective and make a positive impact.
