The Root is growing and we're looking for new leaders to grow with us.
We're now accepting applications for 3–5 new members of The Root's Board of Directors for Fall 2026!
As The Root continues to grow, we're looking for passionate, engaged leaders who want to help strengthen families across Greater Sacramento through community, health, and wellbeing.
We're especially interested in welcoming people with experience in:
✨ Nonprofit programming
✨ Finance or fundraising
✨ Marketing & communications
✨ Doulas, birth work, childcare, or family services
✨ Community partnerships and engagement
And we want our board to reflect the diversity of the families we serve. We welcome parents at every stage and people with a wide range of family experiences, including fathers, grandparents, parents of children with special needs, and LGBTQ+ parents.
Most importantly, we're looking for people who are committed to The Root's mission, self-motivated, collaborative, and ready to contribute time and leadership beyond board meetings.
Board members help:
💛 Lead projects and events
💛 Build community partnerships
💛 Serve as ambassadors for The Root
💛 Support fundraising and revenue-generating efforts
💛 Shape the future of our organization
We recognize that leadership and generosity look different for everyone, and we're committed to making board service impactful and sustainable.
📅 Applications close September 30, 2026.
