Leadership

Girls Inc. PNW highly benefits from the experience, insight, and dedication from our staff and volunteer board members.

Board and staff leadership are dedicated to assuring high-impact services for our program participants throughout Oregon and Washington. We set bold goals and clear strategic direction to help us achieve these goals.

Additionally, we are also governed under a commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and as such this is made clear in our DEI statement here.

If you are interested in our Board of Directors, we welcome you to review the application which overviews our organization and the service opportunity. Applications may be submitted at any time and will be considered for our next Board Member cycle in the spring of 2024. All questions and interests in general, including volunteering for committee memberships, can be emailed to, info@girlsincpnw.org. Thank you! Download the application here.
