Upaya Social Ventures

Some of the most valuable gifts we can offer are not financial, they are our time, networks, experience, and leadership. 🌟

Upaya Social Ventures is looking for its first-ever Austin Chapter President: a volunteer leadership role for a senior professional who is passionate about bringing people together around a shared purpose.

📈 Since 2011, Upaya has worked to fight extreme poverty in India through dignified job creation. Together with our enterprise partners, we have helped create more than 110,000 dignified jobs. Now, we're building a community of local leaders across the United States to help accelerate that impact.

As Austin Chapter President, you'll serve as a connector, ambassador, and community builder.

⏰ This is a high-impact volunteer opportunity requiring approximately 6 to 8 hours per month, designed to respect your professional commitments while providing a meaningful way to give back.

If you're a leader who believes in the power of entrepreneurship, opportunity, and community, we'd love to hear from you.🎖️
