Board of Directors Recruitment!

The Carolina Youth Action Project (CYAP) has radically reimagined the structure of our board to better support the wants and needs of our core team members. We are excited to receive applications from folks looking to join our 2021-2022 Board of Directors! 

The Board of Directors will now serve as a care-focused team tasked with supporting core team members’ rest, wellness, and personal transformation. The Board encourages core team members to tap into their abundant power and engage in their own ongoing, non-linear healing processes. As such, the Board of Directors contributes to CYAP’s long-term sustainability and moves the organization in deeper alignment with their mission, vision, and core values. 

All board members commit to serving on the Board of Directors for a minimum of one two-year term. Each term begins in January and ends in December of the following year. At least five members of the Board of Directors will also serve as personal wellness collaborators for core team members. To prioritize safety in the time of COVID-19, the position will be entirely virtual throughout 2021.

We invite folks who are interested in bringing this dream to life apply using this link by Saturday, December 12th at 11:59 PM EST. Folks do not need to be living in South Carolina to apply!  

Our team is hoping to develop a Board of Directors comprised of healers, youth workers, practitioners, organizers, care workers, artists, and dreamers who have skills, insight, and/or experience in the following areas: 

Acupuncture, Acupressure, Ancestor Work, Astrology, Dance, Dream Work, Emotional Freedom Techniques, Healing Justice, Homeopathy, Life Coaching, Meditation, Mindfulness, Naturopathy, Plant Medicine, Qigong, Reiki, Restorative Justice, Social Work, Somatics, Sound Healing, Tarot, Transformational Coaching, Transformative Justice, Yoga
