Vermont Children's Museum
Overview of Organization
A traveling "museum without walls" in Addison County providing education and support for young families through play and connection. We hope to someday raise enough money for a space while continuing the current programming as outreach. Each pop-up event has a theme and the variety of stations cover all of the areas of child development and have opportunities for engagement at a range of developmental levels (targeting children 0-8).
Mission Area: Human Services (children/youth/adult/senior)
Size of Organization: Less than $250K
Position Overview
We are seeking people who have the time and energy needed to get a new nonprofit up and running to its full potential. We are a working board which means that we do not have any paid staff yet and so the board volunteers to do the work.

We are particularly looking for individuals who have:
-
- Non-profit experience
- Financial/tax experience
- Legal experience
- Human resources experience
- A lived experience that diversifies the perspectives of the board to better understand and meet the needs of our whole community (race, religion, sexual orientation, etc)
Desired Skills: General Board Governance, Nonprofit Financials, Fundraising/Development, Legal, HR, Marketing/Communications, Advocacy/Policy, Strategy/Business Planning
