FIUTS Student Board Application

The FIUTS Student Board is a unique and challenging leadership-development opportunity offers that offers students from any country studying in the Seattle area a chance to spend one academic year as an integral part of the FIUTS leadership team alongside our community Board of Trustees.

Serving on the Student Board is an academic year volunteer commitment ( May or September - June), and it is a powerful way to build a global network, learn about nonprofit organizations, and gain leadership experience.

  • Bi-Monthly evening meetings (2nd Monday of every other month)

  • Two orientation sessions: June and October

  • Participation in one Board of Trustee Committee (Board Development, Fundraising, Strategy, Finance)

  • Provide thoughtful consideration and input into FIUTS programs and initiatives; solicit feedback about programs from students and other stakeholders to inform your decisions

  • Attendance at FIUTS special events, including FIUTS CulturalFest and FIUTS Blue Marble Bash; additional events and public speaking opportunities throughout the year

  • Regular participation and leadership in FIUTS programs, including training and participation as a FIUTS Facilitator

  • A willingness to work hard, partner with the staff and Trustees, and have fun!
