Board Members Wanted!

We want you!

Animal Fix Clinic seeks volunteer board members with experience in:

• financial operations
• fundraising/development
• public relations / social media and 
• human resource management.  

Experience volunteering in animal welfare is preferred, but not required. We’re deeply invested in diversity and inclusion, and would love to welcome new board members from communities which we serve.  

We are a working Board: each member contributes their time and skills. We do not require Board members to make a financial contribution to the organization, but Board members are expected to actively participate in fundraising and volunteer activities.

We meet at 7pm Pacific time on the 1st Wednesday of each month via videoconference, with two in-person meetings per year on the 1st Saturday of April and October, held at our clinic in the East Bay.  Most Board members spend an additional 2-6 hours on AFC tasks most months. Some members spend more time when working on seasonal projects such as budget preparation and participating in project-based committees.  

Our Values

We know that to achieve our goals, fulfill our mission, and realize our vision, we need to include individuals with perspectives drawn from a wide range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, skill sets, areas of expertise, and lived experiences to help us avoid decision-making that could diminish the impact of our work.

While our staff and clients are predominantly people of color, our Board (like those of many nonprofits) remains mostly white. We are actively seeking people of color, as well as gender diverse individuals, to join our Board to better reflect the community we serve.

We are publicly recruiting for board positions to ensure that we move beyond our immediate networks and honor our ongoing commitment to creating a board that is diverse in its composition, inclusive in its culture, and equity-focused in its approach to how it views its mission, its work, and the communities it serves.
