Company Description

The Global Entomology Coalition (GEC) exists to create a cultural shift in public perception of insects and propel entomological research forward. We are a rapidly growing collaborative network comprising entomologists (amateur and professional), researchers, educators, artists, philanthropists, policymakers, and enthusiasts from around the world. The GEC serves as a unified platform for fostering cooperation, sharing knowledge, and driving progress in the field of entomology. It all starts with education and outreach. We provide resources, training programs, educational initiatives, and open research expeditions to the public to inspire and foster appreciation for the incredibly important behaviors, adaptations, and environmental roles insects play in maintaining global ecological balance.

It all starts with education and outreach. We provide resources, training programs, educational initiatives, and open research expeditions to the public to inspire and foster appreciation for the incredibly important behaviors, adaptations, and environmental roles insects play in maintaining global ecological balance.

At the core of the GEC’s objectives is the promotion of research that addresses critical issues related to insect biodiversity, ecology, behavior, and physiology. By facilitating communication and collaboration among experts across various disciplines and the general public, the coalition aims to accelerate scientific discoveries and develop effective strategies for insect conservation and discovery.

The coalition actively engages with local businesses and communities, NGOs, biological field stations, universities and schools to advocate for evidence-based policies and practices that support insect conservation efforts and change the global attitudes toward insects to help turn their negative reputation around.

Role Description

The role involves collaborating with other board members, setting strategic direction, overseeing organizational governance, and contributing to the coalition's mission of promoting insect conservation and appreciation through research, education, and advocacy.

Board members are selected for two-year terms, with possibility to serve additional terms.   We are searching for up to 3 new board members to join our organization.  

Responsibilities

Who we're looking for

No experience necessary, but non-profit experience is a plus.

This is a remote role, with monthly or bi-monthly meetings via Zoom to collaborate on initiatives to achieve the GEC's mission. We are in search of individuals able to commit to the responsibilities, time, and assigned work. This role is open to worldwide applicants who can preferably provide perspective and assistance in one of the following areas of nonprofit governance:

Volunteering at Camp Sunshine is truly an unforgettable and life-changing experience. Talk to any volunteer and nearly everyone will say that they get more out of Camp Sunshine than they give. The opportunity to directly help children and their families to laugh, create happy memories, and connect with other families is magical.

More than 2,000 dedicated volunteers come from around the country and world to participate in our year-round program each year. Many return again and again. Since its inception in 1984, volunteers have donated in excess of one million hours of their time, and have saved Camp Sunshine millions of dollars through their donation of time and services. More than helping hands, they are the heart and soul of the organization. The spirit, energy, and compassion they bring to the program are priceless. 

Puppy raisers are responsible for providing a loving and structured home for young puppies to prepare them for future service dog work. They teach basic obedience, expose the puppy to various environments, people, and other animals, and instill good manners both at home and in public. Raisers attend training classes, follow specific training guidelines, and maintain the puppy’s health through proper diet, exercise, and veterinary care. Puppies typically stay with their raisers until they are 12-18 months old, depending on their progress, maturity, and readiness for advanced training. We also offer co-raising opportunities with a family member or friend, giving raisers a built-in puppy sitter.

Service dogs in training are allowed in many public places, so travel isn’t necessarily an issue and can be a valuable experience, depending on the puppy's age. If a puppy isn’t ready for certain travel experiences, we can provide puppy-sitting when needed. Short-term raising is also available, provided another raiser can take over when the initial commitment ends.Puppy Raising: Shaping Future Service Dogs

CASA volunteers are ordinary people who step forward to advocate in court for children in New Hampshire who have experienced abuse and neglect. Volunteers spend time getting to know the child or children they are working with and gather information from the important adults in each child’s life so they may make qualified, unbiased recommendations to a judge about what they believe to be in the best interests of the child.

Our volunteers help change a child’s story from one of abuse or neglect, to stability and security.

Volunteers:

Volunteers spend about 10-15 hours a month on their case, with more time spent in the first 90 days of the case assignment. They stay with the case until the child is in a safe, permanent home or another permanent solution is in place.
