If you are looking for a way to expand your skills, gain board experience and make a difference, we invite you to join our board of volunteer directors, who are dedicated to supporting this group of people with stable, happy homes for their lifetimes.

CARE values members and actively provides opportunities to help them grow in their careers and communities.

We invite you to review the Notification for New Board Members and complete a Nomination form. Our bylaws require that all nominees must have a CARE Membership, which is free.

As this is a working board, you will have many opportunities to join special committees such as fundraising, finance, social media, and strategic planning, as well as assist in planning events and making important decisions for the society. The average time commitment is 6-8 hours per month, which includes monthly meetings and participation in committees.
