Goal
I’m excited to be part of The Board Internship program, a year-long program run jointly by Korus Connect and CMA.
It can be difficult for young people to get into a boardroom – as I know from personal experience of rejected applications.
I deeply appreciate that this program recognises that young people can add value to boards today, while it also invests in the boards of the future.
The Board Internship operates within the Christian non-profit space, acknowledging that there have been some public governance failings in Christian organisations and seeking to make good governance a priority in this sector.
Since June 2025, I have been an intern on the board of Korus Connect, gaining first-hand insight into board operations and governance. What has particularly struck me is how a love for God and others drives each member of the board and shapes the vision and decisions of the organisation.
It is my hope that I am making a positive contribution to the board of Korus Connect, and I am excited by the prospect of future opportunities to serve on boards.
Interns are not charged a fee to participate in The Board Internship program. Instead, we are asked to participate in a peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. My personal goal is to raise $1000 to support the program's costs, which relate to staffing, administration, learning materials, and the initiative's expansion.
If you are inspired, I would sincerely appreciate a donation towards my campaign for The Board Internship program.
