Become a GPF Foundation
Associate Board Member

Why Join

Be part of a mission that matters. Recreational drug dangers are widespread, poorly understood, and too often fatal — yet with the right education, lives can be saved. As an Associate Board Member, you’ll help expand access to practical, lifesaving harm reduction information for young adults, professional peers, medical professionals, first responders, and the broader community.

As a member, you will:

  • Be part of a founding cohort with real influence over the Associate Board’s direction

  • Help bring credible harm reduction education into professional, social, and community networks

  • Expand your professional network alongside like-minded peers committed to public health and prevention

  • Build leadership experience in nonprofit service, community education, and mission-driven outreach

  • Gain mentorship from experienced Board members and Foundation staff

  • Make a tangible community impact on a cause that can literally save lives

 
 

You’re the Right Fit If

You’re a young professional who believes that accurate information can prevent tragedy — and you’re ready to help bring lifesaving harm reduction education to your peers, workplace networks, community groups, and professional circles.

No prior board experience is required. What counts is follow-through, sound judgment, and a genuine belief in this mission.

How You’ll Help

Associate Board Members work as a team to develop and lead education, outreach, and awareness initiatives — with the full support, resources, and guidance of GPF Foundation staff and the Board of Directors. Activities may include:

  • Sharing harm reduction education with professional peers, workplace networks, alumni groups, and community organizations

  • Helping identify opportunities for GPF Foundation speakers, trainings, presentations, and educational partnerships

  • Supporting awareness campaigns that explain recreational drug risks, emerging drug trends, and practical harm reduction strategies

  • Contributing skills in communications, design, outreach, event planning, or professional networking to expand the reach of GPF Foundation’s educational work

  • Helping connect GPF Foundation with medical, legal, business, civic, public safety, and young professional communities that would benefit from this information

  • Participating in or helping organize educational events, discussion panels, trainings, or community presentations

  • Serving as an ambassador for the mission by helping people understand that harm reduction education is practical, urgent, and lifesaving

 
 

Secondary Support Activities

Associate Board Members may also help with community-building or fundraising activities, such as restaurant events, endurance events, or donor engagement, when those efforts support the Foundation’s educational mission.

There is no financial contribution or giving minimum required. We ask for your time, energy, and commitment to helping lifesaving information reach more people.
