Dawlaty Board Members

Dawlaty is seeking dedicated and experienced activists currently residing in Syria to join our Board of Trustees. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in guiding our organization’s mission for a just, democratic, and peaceful Syria—one that upholds accountability, human rights, gender equality, tolerance, and diversity. This is an honorable position that offers a meaningful role in shaping the future of Syrian civil society.

As a Dawlaty Board Member, you will be responsible for ensuring good governance of the organization, overseeing financial accountability, hiring and evaluating the Executive Director, providing strategic guidance, and supporting the organization through transitions. The Board meets quarterly, with one in-person meeting annually (subject to feasibility). Members are also expected to provide ongoing support and advice to the Executive Director as needed. The Board’s working languages are Arabic and English. This is an unpaid, voluntary position.

●       Are deeply committed to transitional justice and Dawlaty’s mission of empowering civil society, particularly young men and women, to actively contribute to Syria’s democratic transition.

●       Have strong knowledge and understanding of the Syrian context over the past decade, especially regarding civil society organizations and their work.

●       Bring expertise in either financial governance of organizations or organizational development.

●       Are 30 years old or above.

What We Offer

●       Connections: A broad network of civil society organizations, activists, and decision-makers in Syria and internationally.

●       Opportunities: Influence over strategic decision-making and access to international events, discussions, and collaborations.
