Join Our Movement for Justice Transformation
Building a Coalition for Change
The Texas Center for Justice and Equity (TCJE) is seeking strategic, visionary leaders to join our Board of Directors. As we chart a bold new path focused on practical action and measurable outcomes, your leadership can help transform Texas' criminal legal system and create thriving communities where incarceration is rare and opportunity is universal.
Strategic Impact Opportunities
Our board members don't simply provide oversight—they actively advance our mission to end mass incarceration by leveraging their unique expertise, networks, and perspectives. We're particularly seeking individuals who can contribute in these high-impact areas:
- Strategic Communications: Amplify marginalized voices through marketing, PR, and media expertise
- Resource Development: Expand our funding partnerships and strengthen organizational sustainability
- Organizational Excellence: Enhance our high-performing team practices, financial health, and operational effectiveness
- Policy Advancement: Strengthen our advocacy networks and legislative relationships
- Community Connection: Deepen our relationships with justice-impacted communities and allies
Commitment and Culture
Board service involves quarterly virtual meetings, a personally meaningful financial contribution, strategic networking, and passionate ambassadorship for our mission. Our collaborative, action-oriented board culture values diverse perspectives, constructive guidance, and a healthy partnership with executive leadership.
We're building a board that reflects the communities we serve and can help us deliver on our four strategic pillars: disrupting the school-to-prison pipeline, expanding local advocacy networks, pursuing marijuana decriminalization, and generating measurable results for Texas communities.
