"By introducing me to Girls on the Run, LGH has given me an environment where I work with talented people that I may not have interacted with otherwise. This also gave me the opportunity to further develop important skills that I learned from the Leaders on Board program and make a difference in the lives of girls in our community. As I learned more about Girls on the Run, I was inspired to participate in one of its fundraisers-SoleMates."
Every day hundreds of people are looking for ways to apply their values, interests, and skills in ways that serve the greater good. Leaders On Board trains its participants in board governance and nonprofit organizational structure and prepares them as candidates for board membership. Express Match events connect them to a network of interesting, innovative nonprofits seeking board members. Leaders On Board has a proven track record – helping to place nearly 900 individuals on the boards of more than 160 nonprofit organizations!

"I was able to meet six organizations [that night] and learn about their needs and missions....The nonprofits were so passionate about their mission that I was drawn to all of them....Choosing my top choice was a challenge."
