The Salida Circus Outreach Foundation (SCOF) is seeking dedicated, community‑minded leaders to join our Board of Directors. Our board supports a vibrant nonprofit that blends circus arts, youth empowerment, community outreach, and the creative sanctuary of the Salida Cirque‑Haus. We are looking for individuals who bring integrity, clarity, and a commitment to strong governance.
About Our Board Structure:
SCOF operates with a governance-focused board that provides oversight, strategic direction, and mission alignment—while daily operations remain solely under the authority of the Executive Director. Our board meets monthly for 1.5 hours, with optional subcommittee participation depending on skills and interest. Board members serve as thought partners, stewards of the mission, and protectors of organizational health—not operational managers.
