1
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:03,507
You’re building skills every day.

2
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:06,875
CariClub helps you explore where
those skills could support a

3
00:00:06,875 --> 00:00:10,093
nonprofit— and how you
could grow through service.

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,762
Let’s follow the steps from
getting started to putting yourself

5
00:00:13,762 --> 00:00:14,958
forward for a role.

6
00:00:15,044 --> 00:00:18,067
You don’t need previous board
experience to begin exploring.

7
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:23,971
If CariClub is offered through
your employer, use your work

8
00:00:23,971 --> 00:00:26,667
email and follow your
firm’s joining instructions.

9
00:00:27,807 --> 00:00:30,960
When asked how you’re joining,
choose the employer option.

10
00:00:31,220 --> 00:00:32,808
Haven’t served on a board before?

11
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:36,590
Select Not yet when asked
about existing board service.

12
00:00:37,685 --> 00:00:40,316
Then add your current
role and a short headline.

13
00:00:40,446 --> 00:00:42,360
You can build on these as you explore.

14
00:00:44,543 --> 00:00:48,218
Your profile does two important jobs.

15
00:00:48,478 --> 00:00:51,957
It helps CariClub and
Margo, its AI assistant,

16
00:00:52,326 --> 00:00:56,349
recommend opportunities that reflect
your interests and experience.

17
00:00:56,587 --> 00:00:59,848
It also serves as your resume
for nonprofits reviewing your

18
00:00:59,848 --> 00:01:00,609
candidacy.

19
00:01:01,619 --> 00:01:05,098
Give them a clear picture of
what you bring: your experience,

20
00:01:05,337 --> 00:01:08,337
the causes you care about,
and how you work with others.

21
00:01:08,619 --> 00:01:12,184
Use a concrete example, such
as building a partnership or

22
00:01:12,184 --> 00:01:14,577
helping a team turn a plan into action.

23
00:01:15,113 --> 00:01:18,506
Add a clear photo, review
your professional details,

24
00:01:18,744 --> 00:01:21,788
and check your availability
and visibility settings.

25
00:01:22,135 --> 00:01:23,092
Save that section.

26
00:01:24,636 --> 00:01:26,903
In Skills, select relevant strengths

27
00:01:26,903 --> 00:01:28,703
and the causes you care about,

28
00:01:28,943 --> 00:01:30,403
then save your choices.

29
00:01:30,783 --> 00:01:32,943
Keeping your profile current
helps your recommendations

30
00:01:32,943 --> 00:01:34,823
and your introduction to nonprofits

31
00:01:34,823 --> 00:01:36,583
reflect who you are today.

32
00:01:40,043 --> 00:01:42,158
Alongside your search,

33
00:01:42,814 --> 00:01:43,762
explore Leaderboard,

34
00:01:44,272 --> 00:01:46,554
CariClub’s space for
learning and preparation.

35
00:01:47,940 --> 00:01:51,690
Its Core Insights assessments
help you reflect on your

36
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:52,290
passions,

37
00:01:53,003 --> 00:01:55,368
leadership purpose,
and areas to develop.

38
00:01:56,065 --> 00:01:59,836
Start with a question that matters
to you: what kind of contribution

39
00:01:59,836 --> 00:02:01,410
would feel meaningful?

40
00:02:02,872 --> 00:02:05,434
Use that perspective as you explore.

41
00:02:05,434 --> 00:02:09,080
You can return to the learning
resources throughout your

42
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,680
journey.

43
00:02:12,043 --> 00:02:15,609
Before choosing a role, get
to know the organization

44
00:02:15,609 --> 00:02:16,631
behind it.

45
00:02:16,913 --> 00:02:20,369
Read about its mission, the people
it serves, and the work it is

46
00:02:20,369 --> 00:02:20,969
doing.

47
00:02:21,542 --> 00:02:23,608
If you’d like to follow
it, become a fan.

48
00:02:23,803 --> 00:02:27,368
That’s CariClub’s Fan Club
feature: a way to keep an

49
00:02:27,368 --> 00:02:30,326
organization in your Fan
of list as you explore.

50
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:33,933
Following a nonprofit
helps you keep it in view.

51
00:02:34,302 --> 00:02:36,194
Applying for a role is a separate step.

52
00:02:38,877 --> 00:02:42,181
In Starboard, open Listings to explore

53
00:02:42,181 --> 00:02:43,291
opportunities.

54
00:02:43,703 --> 00:02:47,268
Start with a cause or organization
that interests you, then read

55
00:02:47,268 --> 00:02:48,443
the role itself.

56
00:02:49,376 --> 00:02:52,506
An associate board helps advance
a nonprofit’s mission through

57
00:02:52,506 --> 00:02:55,529
fundraising, partnerships,
and community engagement.

58
00:02:55,789 --> 00:02:59,659
The governing board has a different
role: organizational oversight.

59
00:03:00,631 --> 00:03:04,066
You usually join as a board member,
rather than for a specific job

60
00:03:04,066 --> 00:03:04,631
title.

61
00:03:04,631 --> 00:03:07,826
As you get involved, you can explore
committees where your interests

62
00:03:07,826 --> 00:03:09,523
and strengths can contribute.

63
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,972
Look at the responsibilities,

64
00:03:12,623 --> 00:03:16,537
meeting schedule, and any fundraising
or financial expectations.

65
00:03:16,754 --> 00:03:19,994
The aim is a commitment that
fits alongside your career.

66
00:03:21,162 --> 00:03:24,467
Shortlist a promising role
while you compare your options.

67
00:03:25,075 --> 00:03:28,902
Saving it keeps the possibility
in view; it isn’t an application.

68
00:03:31,743 --> 00:03:34,692
When you’re ready to be considered,

69
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:37,067
select Express interest.

70
00:03:37,368 --> 00:03:40,910
For this open role, that
starts an application— it does

71
00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:42,171
not submit it.

72
00:03:43,305 --> 00:03:46,805
Write your introduction and
answer any questions for the

73
00:03:46,805 --> 00:03:47,524
opportunity.

74
00:03:48,743 --> 00:03:52,233
Explain why the mission interests
you, what you could contribute,

75
00:03:52,472 --> 00:03:54,878
and how the commitment
could fit your schedule.

76
00:03:56,188 --> 00:03:58,783
Be specific about how
you work with others.

77
00:03:59,230 --> 00:04:02,512
Perhaps you’ve brought people
together around a shared goal.

78
00:04:03,126 --> 00:04:06,626
Explain how that experience, and
your interest in the mission,

79
00:04:06,626 --> 00:04:08,887
could help you contribute to the board.

80
00:04:10,457 --> 00:04:11,593
Need more time?

81
00:04:12,249 --> 00:04:14,780
Save Draft lets you return to it.

82
00:04:15,290 --> 00:04:18,790
Leaderboard’s Board Readiness
Insight can also help you reflect

83
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:20,655
on areas you’d like to develop.

84
00:04:22,020 --> 00:04:23,956
When you’re ready,
review your answers

85
00:04:23,956 --> 00:04:26,072
and choose Submit Application.

86
00:04:26,645 --> 00:04:30,385
Then look for confirmation
that it has been sent.

87
00:04:30,728 --> 00:04:34,739
The nonprofit will decide how to
take the conversation forward.

88
00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:39,813
Return to Pipeline:

89
00:04:40,531 --> 00:04:42,813
saved roles appear under Shortlisted,

90
00:04:43,343 --> 00:04:46,906
unfinished applications under
Drafting, and sent applications

91
00:04:46,906 --> 00:04:48,042
under Submitted.

92
00:04:49,963 --> 00:04:53,338
Check the details and
any next steps shown

93
00:04:53,338 --> 00:04:54,620
for that role.

94
00:04:55,151 --> 00:04:58,412
Keep your profile current
as your experience grows.

95
00:05:02,377 --> 00:05:06,094
Start with your profile:
what you bring, and what

96
00:05:06,094 --> 00:05:07,030
you care about.

97
00:05:07,138 --> 00:05:10,008
Then explore one nonprofit
that interests you.

98
00:05:10,094 --> 00:05:12,356
Your next step can begin with curiosity.
