Interested in Joining the Synapse House Board of Directors?
We navigated through the pandemic by expanding program and service offerings to include both in-person and remote opportunities.
Now, our sights are set on the future with plans to move our Clubhouse location and expand our programming.
Individuals with the skills and interest in helping us work through this transition are encouraged to apply for a two-year renewable term on our Board of Directors.
Members of our Board work with Executive and Development Directors and staff to accomplish annual strategic plan objectives:
- oversee programs, marketing, and policy,
- raise funds and manage finance,

Board members are involved in program, marketing, and policy oversight. Fundraising and financial management are important responsibilities.
