Job Description

The Tanzania Teaching Foundation (TTF) is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization that partners with communities in Tanzania to expand educational opportunities for young people. Since 2009, we have helped prepare students for secondary school through intensive English language instruction, scholarships, and teacher development.

As we prepare for our next phase of growth, we're looking for passionate leaders who want to help shape the future of our organization.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking individuals who enjoy asking thoughtful questions, solving problems, and helping organizations grow. We value board members who are collaborative, curious, and willing to challenge ideas in ways that strengthen decision-making.

We are especially interested in candidates who live in the South Puget Sound area but will consider applicants from anywhere, and who have experience in one or more of the following:

  • Nonprofit leadership or governance
  • Fundraising and donor development
  • Finance or accounting
  • Law
  • Marketing, communications, or public relations
  • Technology
  • Strategic planning
  • Grant writing
  • Education
  • East Africa or Tanzania

What You'll Do

As a TTF Board Member, you will:

  • Help shape the organization's strategic direction.
  • Provide governance and fiduciary oversight.
  • Serve as an ambassador for TTF and its mission.
  • Participate actively in 10–12 Board meetings annually and at least one committee.
  • Support fundraising by making introductions, advocating for the organization, and making a personally meaningful annual contribution.
  • Bring your expertise, ideas, and professional network to help TTF grow its impact.

Our Commitment

We are committed to building a diverse and engaged Board that reflects a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, professions, and perspectives.

We're looking for people who don't simply want to fill a Board seat. We want people who want to build.
