Join the Board

SOMA Families Meetup is a 501(c)7 nonprofit, run entirely by volunteers! Board members commit to a 2-year term, and use our skills and interests to keep SOMA Families running behind the scenes and plan events for the community. All board members attend a monthly board meeting and are expected to coordinate, volunteer at, and attend several SOMA Families events throughout the year.

We strive to create a Board that reflects the communities we serve; we continue to build an inclusive culture that encourages, supports, and celebrates the diverse voices of our towns.

We are looking to fill some key Board positions for 2025-2026 term, which runs from July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026. Email hello@somafamilies.org for more information or if you can help in any capacity!
