Be the change you want to see in the world. Join our Board of Directors!
For over 15 years, Gender Justice has been at the forefront of the fight for reproductive freedom and LGBTQ+ rights in the Upper Midwest.
In Minnesota, we’ve harnessed impact litigation and legislative advocacy to create one of the most powerful legal and policy environments for gender justice in the country. And in just a few years in North Dakota, we’ve laid real groundwork — challenging the state’s cruel ban on gender-affirming care for youth and building grassroots momentum for gender equity.
But we know that progress is fragile, especially in this moment. Facing wave after wave of state violence and authoritarian attacks, we need more than short-term wins. We need bold strategies, narrative power, innovative coalitions, and resilient structural change. That’s what we’re building — and we want you to come build it with us.
We are seeking 3-6 new board members to join our stellar Board of Directors. The volunteer board provides fiduciary oversight of our organization, mission-based leadership, fundraising support, strategic governance, and advice to the Executive Director.
If you’re interested and want to learn more, join us at one of our two upcoming meet-and-greets. We’ll share more about the organization and what it’s like to be a board member, and you can ask current board and staff any of your burning questions. Register for one of our meet-and-greets in-person or via Zoom today!
