Interested in Board Leadership?

Urban Green Lab's Board of Directors sets the organization’s strategic direction, oversees its financial health, hires and supports the Executive Director, and ensures strong governance.

We accept applications for new board members year-round. Typically, elections are in November, and terms run January 1 to December 31 each year. The first term is two years, with options to renew one year at a time for a third and fourth year.

This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference and bring your leadership, strategic insight, and passion for sustainability to a mission-driven organization. If you are ready to influence change, strengthen community connections, and help build a sustainable Nashville, we encourage you to apply.
