Join Our Founding Board of Directors
We’re looking for founding board members who believe every kid deserves a chance to play. This is a volunteer role with real impact: you’ll help shape how the Foundation runs, how it spends every dollar, and how many kids it reaches.
Open Seats
Board Chair or Vice Chair: leads the board and keeps the organization accountable to its mission.
Treasurer: oversees budgets, financial reports, and internal controls.
Secretary: keeps meeting minutes, records, and governance documents.
Director at Large: supports outreach, fundraising, partnerships, and youth development.
What You’ll Do
Attend board meetings, held at least quarterly, in person in the Central Valley or by video.
Review budgets and financial reports and approve major decisions.
Help set policy for player assistance, coach standards, and child safety.
Open doors to donors, businesses, schools, and community partners.
Keep donor, family, and player information confidential.
Act in the Foundation’s best interest and disclose any conflicts of interest.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need a soccer background or prior board experience. We especially welcome people with experience in:
Finance or accounting
Fundraising or business development
Education or youth development
Futsal, soccer, or youth sports
Nonprofit leadership
Law, risk management, or administration
Community organizing and partnerships
Connections to youth clubs don’t disqualify you. We ask every board member to disclose them and step out of any decision they’re connected to.
The Commitment
Unpaid volunteer role, with no required personal donation
About 4 to 6 hours a month, including meetings
A background check, since we serve youth
Bilingual English and Spanish speakers are encouraged to apply
