What this opportunity is
This is a governance role during PrideLink KZN's institution-building stage. Founding Directors will help shape how the organisation is governed, how decisions are made, which priorities are pursued and how PrideLink KZN remains accountable to the communities it intends to serve.
It is not an honorary title and it is not the same as general volunteering. A director needs to be willing to engage thoughtfully with organisational decisions, responsibilities, policies, risks and longer-term sustainability.
What we value
We are looking for people who can contribute sound judgement, integrity, reliability and constructive perspective. Useful experience may come from community work, governance, business, finance, law, healthcare, social work, education, technology, communications, organisational development or lived community experience.
You do not need to arrive with every answer. The founding stage is about building collectively, listening carefully and creating structures that can grow responsibly.
Our direction
PrideLink KZN is being built around community connection, support and referral pathways, education and resources, advocacy and awareness, partnerships, and a maintained Community Resources Directory. KwaZulu-Natal is our primary focus, but we will not ignore useful services, organisations and people elsewhere in South Africa when they are genuinely accessible to the communities we serve.
Before any commitment
An expression of interest starts a conversation; it is not a commitment or appointment. We will discuss PrideLink KZN, the role, expected responsibilities, the organisation's current stage and the governance process before either party makes any commitment.
