CloseKnit Is Seeking New Board & Committee Members
We are at an exciting and pivotal moment in CloseKnit’s history! Over the past few years, we have:
- Completed groundbreaking research
- Published and tested our findings
- Launched innovative pilots
- Stepped boldly into collective leadership roles—while holding tightly to our values of love, belonging, and service
Now, as we face the shifting landscape of federal policy changes, increasing competition for funding, and growing demand for systemic change, CloseKnit is stepping into its next chapter:
Becoming the leading content expert on natural supports, permanent connections, and social-emotional belonging.
We know that transforming systems is hard work—and yet, youth and families can’t wait for systems to catch up. Our responsibility is to build solutions that last, sustain impact, and continue creating change even when the system resists it.
That’s why we are inviting passionate, committed leaders to join us—either as board members or as committee members.
We’re looking for people who are:
- Deeply invested in equity, justice, and community-driven solutions
- Inspired by CloseKnit’s mission to love youth out of homelessness
- Ready to bring their skills, lived experiences, and networks to help us grow and sustain our impact
- Willing to be part of a bold, collaborative, and relationship-centered movement
If you believe in reimagining what care, home, and belonging look like—and you want to help us build systems rooted in love and mutual care—we’d love to hear from you.

Our Focus for the Next Two Years
CloseKnit is entering an exciting new chapter! Over the next two years, we’re focused on fundraising and building a strong, lasting foundation as a pillar in our community.
We’re seeking partners who share our vision: moving resources away from one-size-fits-all, approaches and investing instead in radical acts of hospitality, mutual care, and community-driven solutions.
Your voice, expertise, and lived experience matter here. We especially value the perspectives of BIPOC leaders and those with firsthand experience—whether as a young person who has faced housing instability or an adult who has opened their home to support youth.
If you have financial expertise, fundraising insights, or simply a passion for shifting dollars into community-rooted solutions, we’d love for you to be part of shaping this movement with us.
