The Empower Yolo Board of Directors

 

In December of 2015 the Board of Directors of the Yolo Family Resource Center dissolved when the agency merged with Empower Yolo. At the time of the merger, many of those Board Members joined the Empower Yolo Board of Directors. 

Join us around the table in service and community:

Empower Yolo, promoting safe, healthy and resilient communities, is an impactful nonprofit in Yolo County providing 24-hour crisis intervention, resource centers, community outreach, and more.

The Empower Yolo Board currently consists of 13 community members. The Board’s role is to support the mission of the organization through providing leadership, oversight, guidance, and fundraising support. In recruiting new members, we are seeking:

  • A commitment to the mission of Empower Yolo
  • Representation from diverse communities in Yolo county – including young people, rural areas, people of color, and other groups who are underrepresented on the Board
  • An orientation towards social justice and commitment to empowerment of survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence

Board members are expected to attend a monthly meeting, serve on a subcommittee, and seek ways to contribute positively to the advancement of Empower Yolo’s mission. The Board of Empower Yolo is committed to conducting business in a manner that appreciates, enhances, and utilizes the strengths of Empower Yolo’s clients and honors their cultural practices and traditions.
