1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,741
Your skills could make a difference to a nonprofit.

2
00:00:03,146 --> 00:00:05,681
CariClub helps you explore where to contribute.

3
00:00:05,826 --> 00:00:09,221
Here’s how to introduce yourself,
get to know organizations,

4
00:00:09,326 --> 00:00:12,141
and take a thoughtful first
step toward a board role.

5
00:00:12,963 --> 00:00:17,268
Once your account is active, sign
in and open your own profile.

6
00:00:17,633 --> 00:00:21,633
Make your introduction clear:
who you are, what matters to you,

7
00:00:21,633 --> 00:00:23,468
and the experience you could bring.

8
00:00:23,913 --> 00:00:26,768
Include relevant work and community experience,

9
00:00:27,053 --> 00:00:29,568
even if you have never served on a board.

10
00:00:30,923 --> 00:00:32,778
Still working out where you could contribute?

11
00:00:32,903 --> 00:00:36,483
In Leaderboard, Core Insights
offers assessments to help

12
00:00:36,483 --> 00:00:39,618
you reflect on your passions,
leadership and readiness.

13
00:00:39,843 --> 00:00:41,338
Answer from where you are today.

14
00:00:41,463 --> 00:00:44,918
Use what you learn to identify
strengths and areas to develop.

15
00:00:44,983 --> 00:00:48,778
These are tools for reflection, not
a promise of a board appointment.

16
00:00:49,793 --> 00:00:51,888
Bring that thinking back to your profile.

17
00:00:52,033 --> 00:00:54,873
In Edit profile, choose the skills you can offer

18
00:00:54,873 --> 00:00:57,888
and the interests that help people get to know you.

19
00:00:58,113 --> 00:00:59,228
Save your changes.

20
00:00:59,813 --> 00:01:02,913
Before exploring roles, check that your experience

21
00:01:02,913 --> 00:01:06,528
and availability give an accurate picture of you.

22
00:01:07,304 --> 00:01:10,730
Now explore the organizations
behind the opportunities.

23
00:01:11,055 --> 00:01:13,055
Read about their mission and work.

24
00:01:13,055 --> 00:01:15,570
If one interests you, select Become a Fan.

25
00:01:15,735 --> 00:01:19,870
Its fan club, where available, is
another way to get to know the community.

26
00:01:20,075 --> 00:01:23,510
Following a nonprofit and applying
for a role are separate actions.

27
00:01:24,913 --> 00:01:27,288
Open Listings to explore opportunities.

28
00:01:27,893 --> 00:01:30,148
Search and filter for the work you want to support.

29
00:01:30,473 --> 00:01:35,108
Read the role type carefully: a governing
board oversees the organization;

30
00:01:35,593 --> 00:01:38,988
an associate board supports the
mission through a defined role.

31
00:01:39,033 --> 00:01:41,088
The responsibilities are different.

32
00:01:42,373 --> 00:01:45,808
Read what the organization
needs, then check the time,

33
00:01:46,273 --> 00:01:50,188
meeting arrangements and any
giving or fundraising expectations.

34
00:01:50,613 --> 00:01:52,208
A compelling mission matters.

35
00:01:52,673 --> 00:01:54,908
So does a commitment you can sustain.

36
00:01:58,833 --> 00:02:02,548
As you consider a role, prepare
for its responsibilities.

37
00:02:02,853 --> 00:02:06,553
Leaderboard includes training for both
governing boards and associate boards.

38
00:02:06,553 --> 00:02:09,393
Choose learning that fits
the role you’re exploring,

39
00:02:09,393 --> 00:02:13,068
and use it to sharpen the questions
you bring to the nonprofit.

40
00:02:14,253 --> 00:02:15,608
Want to return to a role?

41
00:02:15,773 --> 00:02:16,868
Select Shortlist.

42
00:02:17,073 --> 00:02:19,668
It is kept in Pipeline for you to revisit.

43
00:02:19,733 --> 00:02:21,048
You have not applied.

44
00:02:21,233 --> 00:02:24,213
When you’re ready to take the
next step, return to the listing

45
00:02:24,213 --> 00:02:26,928
and select Express interest.

46
00:02:28,293 --> 00:02:30,773
What opens next depends on the listing.

47
00:02:30,773 --> 00:02:34,408
Some require an access
request before you can apply.

48
00:02:34,673 --> 00:02:39,208
Approval to view or apply is a separate
step from being selected for the role.

49
00:02:40,513 --> 00:02:44,568
For this example, Express
interest opens an application.

50
00:02:44,973 --> 00:02:47,048
Check the details drawn from your profile.

51
00:02:47,713 --> 00:02:50,953
Explain why this organization
and this role matter to you,

52
00:02:50,953 --> 00:02:54,748
and give specific examples
of what you could contribute.

53
00:02:55,033 --> 00:02:58,713
Answer the organization’s questions
honestly, including your availability.

54
00:02:58,713 --> 00:03:02,028
You can save a draft and return to it.

55
00:03:03,493 --> 00:03:05,788
Review your answers before selecting Submit.

56
00:03:06,313 --> 00:03:09,348
Wait for the confirmation that
your response has been sent.

57
00:03:09,593 --> 00:03:12,268
Then use Pipeline to follow its progress.

58
00:03:12,513 --> 00:03:16,608
The nonprofit reviews your interest
and decides who moves forward.

59
00:03:18,066 --> 00:03:21,161
Keep an eye on the conversation
and respond to questions.

60
00:03:21,346 --> 00:03:25,641
If you receive an offer, read its
terms before accepting or declining.

61
00:03:25,806 --> 00:03:28,421
An application starts a selection process.

62
00:03:28,546 --> 00:03:32,641
The right outcome is a role that
works for you and the nonprofit.

63
00:03:33,456 --> 00:03:34,711
Begin with your profile.

64
00:03:35,036 --> 00:03:37,776
Show what you bring, explore what matters to you,

65
00:03:37,776 --> 00:03:40,251
and find a commitment you can make your own.
