Our team is looking to add great people of integrity and passion to our Board of Directors who have hearts of service, are deeply connected to the mission of Legacy of Excellence Foundation (LEF), and wish to utilize their time, energy, and resources to help advance LEF's mission. Please find additional details regarding level of commitment, below:

I. Time Commitment (in meetings):

Our regular meetings happen once a month (currently every fourth Saturday) for 75 minutes via Zoom. All LEF Board Directors are expected to attend each of these meetings. However, should an extenuating circumstance arise, preventing someone from attending a given meeting, we just ask that he/she give notice to the team as far in advance as possible and then be sure to review the minutes and notes, post-meeting.

II. Time Commitment (out of meetings):

All LEF Board Directors are expected to devote at least one hour per week to LEF, outside of regular meetings. This can entail an array of things, such as support with fundraising, board cultivating, marketing, creating/revising policy, etc. This particular time expectation may be slightly more, depending on the office you hold and/or committee(s) you are part of (we currently do not have any committees yet). For example, outside of typical modes of support, the Board Chair is expected to do a little more than everyone else (e.g., meet with the Founder regularly to strategize).

III. Financial Commitment:

While constituting only a small fraction of LEF’s general endowment, regular financial contributions from each Board Director are important. This practice ensures that each Board Director has “skin in the game” and that the organization has a predictable repository that it can rely on, apart from revenue generated from services offered at the project level (e.g., school fees). Seeing that the Board is active in procuring financial resources for LEF also helps to motivate external supporters (and potential grant/funding agencies who may wish to undertake due diligence) to give on behalf of LEF and its supported projects. As such, either by a.) solely contributing via personal donations, b.) solely contributing via external fundraising activities, or c.) contributing via a hybrid/combination of personal donations and external fundraising activities, each LEF Board Director is expected to raise financial contributions for LEF (and its projects) in the minimum total amount of $6,000 per year.

Each component above is fleshed out even more in our Charter/Bylaws and Processes & Procedures Manual in terms of rationale, specificity, etc.

Tenemos diversas oportunidades de voluntariado relacionadas al trabajo que se hace con los establecimientos educacionales y en las sedes universitarias.
Los voluntarios pueden impartir charlas en torno a ideación, innovación, tecnologías disruptivas, modelos de negocios tecnológicos, prototipado, programación y técnicas de Pitch entre otros.
Estas intervenciones pueden ser de tres formas:
1. Primero, como charlas para las niñas, en base a 4 horas pedagógicas presenciales, que equivalen a 2 visitas de 2 horas pedagógicas cada una; donde cada voluntario acompaña a los equipos de un curso para asesorarlos y ofrecerles guías en su proyecto, según su experiencia en el área que escogió. Para ello, los voluntarios deben definir su participación en base a su área de interés y liceo o sede universitaria más más cercana; luego realizan un breve entrenamiento online, donde se les explica todo en detalle. Finalmente, a los voluntarios se les entrega todo el material de apoyo listo, el que les sirve como guía para saber qué están aprendiendo las alumnas semana a semana.
2. La segunda forma es de apoyo al docente, compartiendo experiencias y ejemplos que el docente pueda aplicar en sala de clases.
3. Los voluntarios también pueden participar como jueces, evaluando los proyectos de las niñas en base a una rúbrica, ayudando con su feedback a que las niñas puedan mejorar sus proyectos y puedan participar en el concurso internacional. Este voluntariado exige 10 a 12 horas de trabajo mixto, las que incluyen la inscripción, una reunión online de inducción (donde se les explica todo en detalle), una hora de certificación como juez (virtual), una hora de capacitación como juez (virtual) y una pre-evaluación de 8 equipos de niñas de forma online. Posteriormente deben evaluar en forma presencial, en el evento de Pitch Nacional, la entrega del proyecto final de dichos equipos.
