  • Pawsitive Perspectives Assistance Dogs (PawPADs)
  • Lakeville, MN

Job Description

Pawsitive Perspective's innovative programs were designed to create powerful, life-enhancing experiences through working, and being partnered, with assistance dogs. We place service dogs with wounded warriors, individuals with physical disabilities, diabetic alert dogs, autism service dogs and facility/school resource dogs.

PawPADs utilizes the process of training the dogs as a therapeutic and educational experience through programs such as Project YES! (youth at risk), Prison Road Puppies (inmates) and Paw Corps (veterans).

,

We are seeking up to 6 members who will serve a minimum of a one year term (with the option/expectation to extend). The Directors currently meet every other month. The business aspect of the meetings will take approximately 3 hours - with opportunity to socialize and, of course, play with dogs after each meeting.

The diverse group of Board members we seek will

  • First and foremost, have a genuine commitment to PawPADs' mission, and become knowledgeable about PawPADs;
  • Provide valuable insight, direction and help with our work of transforming lives through the training of service dogs;
  • Act as Ambassadors for the program;
  • Enthusiastically guide the organization into a sustainable future;
  • Be active participants in development and fundraising efforts;
  • Guide the fiscal and legal aspects of the organization;
  • Offer different levels and types of skills which are needed;
  • Make connections to corporate and/or philanthropic communities;
  • Be individuals with proven leadership in the business or community sector and/or individuals from the populations we serve.
