Friends of the Children-SF Bay Area's
Board of Directors
Advisory Circle
Young Professionals Board

Our boards are composed of dedicated, highly accomplished professional and community leaders who share our passion for our mission and commitment to our values.

The Board of Directors guides the organization's success by providing strategic leadership, ensuring healthy governance and financial stability, providing effective organizational planning, and being powerful advocates for our mission.

The Advisory Circle provides independent “outside-in” input and advice in support of our strategic plan, while also acting as enthusiastic ambassadors opening doors and raising awareness of our mission across their respective networks.

The Young Professionals Board is making a difference in the lives of the children and families we serve. They assist with food deliveries, fundraise on our behalf, volunteer at events, provide and wrap holiday gifts, and more.
