We are a fully engaged board of around 8-10 members, with a range of expertise, experience, and demographics AND that is very important to Firefly in ensuring that our leadership represents the diverse community that we serve!
Here are some skill sets and demographics we are looking for in particular for our board:
Skill Sets/Expertise:
Fundraising
Communications/marketing
Social justice advocacy
Nonprofit management
Financial
Board experience
Demographics: We encourage applications from all backgrounds, skill sets, abilities and life experience, and are particularly enthused to solicit applications among those who self-identify with the BIPOC, LGBTQAI+, and Elder (40+) communities, as well as others from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds and personal histories.
Full Board Meetings happen quarterly with smaller subcommittee meetings occuring in between. All meetings are attended remotely online. We are seeking folks who are willing to donate between 5-8 hours per month of their time for this work, and serve on our board for a full 3 year term.
Please feel free to pass on our message to other people in your life who may be interested! Thank you!

Lily is an artist, creator, and dreamer. Since a very young age, she has been immersed in the natural world and draws heavy inspiration from the wild. Though her medium changes frequently, Lily’s art and expression always incorporate an element of the organic and unpredictable. She got her associate in fine arts in 2023, and now volunteers at her school as a ceramic studio monitor. She hopes to open a studio of her own one day to have a place to teach and inspire others. In addition to doing commission work, Lily has been creating many graphics for The Firefly Gathering since 2019. Lily grew up in the Earthskills community from the time she was eight years old, so having the opportunity to grow and give back in so many ways has been incredibly fulfilling. No matter where she ends up, this group of people and ideas will always hold a special place in her heart.
