About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

Education Board Partners (formerly Charter Board Partners) is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to strengthening nonprofit boards in education. Volunteer boards in education — the boards of public charter schools, nonprofit education organizations, and autonomous district schools — are a powerful force operating independent of politics to improve school quality, equity, and accountability. They bring valuable expertise and leadership experience to schools, and they make decisions in close proximity to students, staff, and communities. In short, boards make the decisions that make schools better for kids.

Programs: 

Our three core areas of work include:

  • We recruit board members for schools that need deeper skills, relevant experience, and more diversity. 
    Board work is people work. EBP engages deeply with boards around their goals, recruits talented and motivated people, and personally connects them with the boards that need their skills and experience. We focus particularly on recruiting and building diverse boards: More than half of American public school students are students of color (a number that increases each year), but 86% of nonprofit board members in the U.S. are white. Through this work, we aim to ensure that education-related boards better represent the students in our public schools.   
     
  • We provide tailored support for board members and executive directors to help them govern well.
    EBP provides customized coaching, adaptable tools and templates, and robust trainings that help boards govern effectively and equitably. We train boards to understand opportunity and achievement gaps in our public schools and make decisions that help close them. We help educate all board members about the broader education landscape and equip them to speak up in favor of equitable access to high-quality schools for all students and families.
     
  • We help decision-makers incentivize strong boards.
    Because effective governance results in stronger accountability and higher-quality schools, EBP partners with authorizers, support organizations, and funders to help them more accurately measure board effectiveness and insist on engaged, diverse boards. 
Why Work For Us?: 

At Education Board Partners, we care deeply about how and why we do the work. Our name reflects our core principles:

  • We are driven by the belief that every child deserves access to a high-quality education; we measure our success by whether schools are better, not whether boards are better. (We are educators first and foremost; everyone at EBP has spent time as a classroom teacher and/or working in schools.)

  • Volunteer boards in education — the boards of public charter schools, nonprofit education organizations, and autonomously-governed district schools — are a powerful force, operating independent of politics, to improve school quality, equity, and accountability. They bring valuable expertise and leadership experience and make decisions in close proximity to students, staff, and communities.

  • We partner with individuals and organizations across the country and at every level of the ecosystem — boards, school leaders, funders, policymakers, authorizers, education support organizations — who are working to improve outcomes for students.

Independently governed boards put in place the context for success, shield schools from the ever-changing forces of politics, and insist on results. Boards also provide charter schools with volunteer board members who bring valuable skills, experience, perspective, expertise, and resources that public schools often have a hard time accessing. And serving on the board of a public school gives those individuals the opportunity to play a meaningful role in their communities, contribute to improving public education, and make a real difference in the lives of children.

Montana Legal Services Association

Overview
Headquarters: 
Helena, Montana, USA
Website: 
mtlsa.org
Annual Budget : 
$1-5M
Size: 
11-50 employees
Founded: 
1966
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Legal Services / Justice System
Civil Rights / Social Justice
Mission: 

For over fifty years, the Montana Legal Services Association has helped ensure fairness for all in Montana’s justice system by providing civil, non-criminal legal services to low income Montanans living in all 56 Montana counties and on all Tribal Reservations.

Programs: 

As a private, non-profit law firm, MLSA provides non-criminal legal information, advice, and representation to thousands of Montanans each year. MLSA’s services help fight scams on seniors, assist veterans who have been denied their earned benefits, help people escape abusive relationships, and represent families living in unsafe housing conditions.

“Equal Justice for All” is our shared ideal. Every year, millions walk under these words, engraved into the United States Supreme Court building. Every day, millions of schoolchildren pledge their allegiance to a republic “with liberty and justice for all.” And on countless TV shows, you hear the words, “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you.”

Unfortunately, there is no right to an attorney for people facing non-criminal legal problems. For many people, especially those with limited incomes, the high cost of legal assistance can prevent them from obtaining even the most basic access to our court systems.

That’s why MLSA works to provide civil legal aid to low income individuals living throughout Montana – to ensure that equal justice for all is a reality for all Montanans, and not just for those who can afford it.

Awards & Accolades: 
MLSA's Medical-Legal Partnership program received a certificate of recognition for their collaborative effort to improve community health at the Montana Healthy Communities Conference.
MLSA received the Mary Byron Celebrating Solutions Award in recognition of MLSA’s work to provide civil legal assistance to survivors of domestic violence and break the cycle of violence.
MLSA received a Community Impact Award at the Montana Housing Partnership Conference recognizing the impact of the Keep My Montana Home program on saving homes from foreclosure in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis.
MLSA received the Montana Board of Crime Control’s Innovative Community Improvement Award for using technology to increase access to justice in rural Montana.
Why Work For Us?: 
  • Live your values and put your law degree to work by representing people who deserve a voice in our legal system.
  • Great benefits, generous leave, and competitive pay.
  • Access to free CLE seminars and opportunities to attend national conferences and trainings.
  • The chance to hone your litigation skills in a friendly and supportive work environment.

Kara’s mission is to provide grief support for children, teens, families and adults. Our guiding values are empathy and compassion. Every day we provide caring support to children and adults affected by loss and grief.

We serve individuals who are grieving a death as well as those managing a terminal illness (their own or another's).

Programs: 

Change, loss and trauma are natural in the cycle of life and grief is our natural reaction. Kara offers a safe and caring environment where those coping with death and dying can express and normalize their feelings of grief. Our peer services are provided by volunteers with experience in healing from their own personal loss and are carefully screened, trained and supervised. Our support model advocates listening, speaking, and acting from the heart in service to others. Kara is a self-referral organization and our services are offered to individuals, families and organizations in the Bay Area community.

Why Work For Us?: 

Guided by empathy and compassion, every day we offer caring support to children and adults and provide a space where those in grief find deep relief in the company of others. Our services are designed to be accessible, and we are funded primarily by charitable donations and the heartfelt generosity of the community we serve.

About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Housing / Shelter
Mission: 

The mission of The Road Home is to help people step out of homelessness
and back into our community.

Programs: 

The Road Home is a private non-profit social services agency that assists individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake County and along the Wasatch Front. The Road Home provides multiple services to help people overcome homelessness.

  • Emergency Shelter – The Road Home provides emergency shelter for single men, and families experiencing homelessness. Currently, The Road Home runs the South Salt Lake Men's Resource Center which serves single men, and the Midvale Family Resource Center serving families. 
  • Emergency Services – Our Client Engagement Team offers assistance to low-income and homeless individuals on a walk-in basis with obtaining documents, training, and supplies needed to transition back into the workforce, remain employed, qualify for housing, and more.
  • Case Management – The Road Home’s Case Management team works tirelessly to help each individual who turns to us for assistance in identifying and overcoming the barriers causing them to become homeless. Case managers are also vital in connecting clients to community resources that help the individual leave shelter and live successfully in our community.
  • Housing – The Road Home believes that housing is the solution to ending homelessness. We provide an array of housing programs including Rapid Rehousing for families and veterans, and Permanent Supportive Housing. Each housing program is designed to help with the housing and case management support needed to successfully overcome homelessness.
Why Work For Us?: 

We envision people moving seamlessly from the cold streets into warm housing; from despair and alienation toward home and inclusion. We envision a community that recognizes the inherent dignity of those who live in poverty and homelessness. The Road Home will work with all of our partners to realize this vision.
