Join the YNPN Boston Leadership Team
We’re now accepting applications through October for volunteer board members and ambassadors!
Joining YNPN Boston offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the local nonprofit sector while advancing your own professional development. We offer two types of roles: ambassadors and board members. You can find general descriptions of roles on the page below, and specific job descriptions in the docs linked.
Be a Board Member
YNPN Boston values a diverse leadership team and an inclusive culture that is representative of the sector that we serve. We actively encourage people of color, people of all gender identities and expressions, individuals with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community to apply.
YNPN Boston is seeking individuals who are hungry for leadership opportunities and can propel our programs to new heights—highly energetic, driven, and organized individuals to serve on the YNPN Boston Board of Directors. Each Board Member serves a dual-leadership role. The first role is a Board Member, responsible for exercising sound fiscal and legal oversight of the organization. The second role is a Senior Leadership Team Member, who will manage a functional area of the organization and ensure its success. Most of our Senior Leadership Team Members are responsible for managing a team of YNPN Boston Ambassadors, who will assist in executing the team’s responsibilities.
Board members report to the YNPN Boston Board Co-Chairs and will require close collaboration with leadership across the organization. This is a great opportunity to develop skills in an area that you haven’t fully explored or to contribute your expertise to one of Greater Boston’s most influential nonprofits.
In addition to the incredible professional development opportunity that comes with taking ownership over a functional area of an organization and participating in the long-term strategic work of stewarding our mission, Board Members participate in networking and professional development meetings and receive free admission to all YNPN Boston events! Beyond skill-building, our Leadership Team is a network of over 40 like-minded, driven emerging leaders in Greater Boston’s nonprofit community! Board Members commit to serving a two-year volunteer term.

Be an Ambassador
YNPN Boston is seeking passionate, driven, and organized individuals to serve as Ambassadors on our Leadership Team. Ambassadors are key to YNPN Boston and our ability to achieve our goals. While our Board and Senior Leadership Team oversee the strategic direction and management of the organization, Ambassadors carry out strategic actions in specific functional areas. Together, Board Members and Ambassadors make it all happen! This is a great opportunity to develop skills in an area that you haven’t fully explored or to contribute your expertise to one of Greater Boston’s most influential nonprofits. In addition to developing skills in specific functional areas, Ambassadors participate in networking and professional development meetings and receive free admission to all YNPN Boston events! Beyond skill-building, our Leadership Team is a network of over 40 like-minded, driven emerging leaders in Greater Boston’s nonprofit community! We are all extremely committed to YNPN Boston’s mission. In fact, many current Board Members first got involved with YNPN Boston as Ambassadors.
