One of the ways Spokes guides and supports nonprofit organizations is by providing advice and counsel from experienced mentors. After orientation, you'll be matched with a nonprofit leader and/or organization that has requested coaching or consultation from someone with your particular skill set and experience. If you like to teach, you might also lead workshops or facilitate roundtables. Although the bulk of our work is done virtually, there may be occasional opportunities for face-to-face work with a client.
A few examples of what you might do:
- Provide one-on-one leadership coaching to a new executive director or board president.
- Help a nonprofit plan and then facilitate its annual retreat.
- Lead a training session in board development.
- Help and individual or small group create a business plan for their nonprofit.
- Advise a governance committee on how best to identify and vet potential candidates to join the board.
- Assist with grant proposal research and development.
You are also welcome to suggest other work based on your interests and experience!
