The YWCA of the University of Illinois is looking for women to serve on its Board of Directors. Board members must be 21 or older. They must have a passion for our mission (The YWCA is dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women, and promoting peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all), and a desire to help the women students we serve develop their leadership potential. We need creative women with good organizational skills and the ability to work with a diverse group of women. Fundraising skills are also necessary.
