Afrikan Americans Freedom Union (AAFU) is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit corporation and human rights movement that advocates for freedom, justice, equality, and peace in society.
AAFU provides community resources and treatment opportunities to strengthen families and communities and helps people to overcome the corrosive effects of systemic racism, unequal labor markets, generational poverty, political marginality, disenfranchisement, and extreme deprivation on family stability and on the capacity of local communities to provide community resources, support systems, and social control.
Specifically, we are looking for volunteer directors and officers with fundraising experience, experience in managing money, and professional expertise in strategic planning, developing budgets, grant writing, public relations, human relations, website development, website hosting, publishing, hosting, and managing social media accounts, public speaking in anti-racism and anti-poverty and human rights awareness, planning civic actions, and legal aid that assures directors and officers that AAFU will be run fairly, responsibly, and safely without undue risk of tax or legal liability for directors or officers, or lawsuits by employees or complaints by the public.
Additionally, we are looking for student-interns and work-study students to serve in the following committees and report and make recommendations to the full board or executive committee, including but not limited to:

To put together the overall action plan for accomplishing the goals of the organization. A director, president or vice-president of the corporation will chair this committee.
