Agora Partnerships NY Young Professionals Board

I'm currently working with Agora Partnerships to identify 5-7 individuals to form our pilot New York Young Professionals Board. Please feel free to forward this information along to anyone that you think might be interested in being a part of this. Thanks for your help!

Agora Partnerships’ mission is to give developing world entrepreneurs the management tools, networks and financing needed to launch successful, socially-responsible companies. The organization works to find great entrepreneurs and give them practical, hands-on help and provides them with the opportunity to obtain equity financing from an investment fund specifically designed for them.

These individuals will be responsible for:

1) Fundraising for the nonprofit organization

2) Publicizing Agora and our model  

3) Providing advice, perspectives, and support to the organization.

We are looking for people:

1) Interested in Latin America,

2) Interested in economic development or social entrepreneurship,

3) With appropriate professional expertise, and

4) Committed to the goals of Agora

If you are interested please email your resume with a cover letter to Emma Taylor at ETaylor@agorapartnerships.org.

The deadline to apply is December 15th (but this may be flexible).

Please see the website for more information regarding Agora's model and current projects and feel free to contact me with any questions!
