Board Structures & Role Definitions
Project details
What we need
- Document outlining relationship of board to your organization and metrics of board success
- Document outlining scope of roles within board, including empty seats if applicable
Additional details
Our organization is at an exciting moment of transition; we have appointed a new executive director and a new board chair and are shifting our organizational focus. While our board is very present, helpful, and hardworking, it would be useful to develop a better understanding of our responsibilities as board members, so that we can more efficiently respond to our organization's needs.
What we have in place
- We currently have records of our board meetings and the work we do as an org, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have eight dedicated board members, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,882 , allowing us to continue operating at a grassroots and community-driven level.
The shift in leadership means that the board will be stepping into more responsibilities. Knowing exactly what we are each responsible for will be useful for taking on tasks that were once managed by the previous leadership team.

Our mission
BK ROT is NYC's first community supported bike powered organic waste hauling and composting service. Our project is staffed by local youth and young adults who haul organic waste from small businesses and transform it into high quality compost. Our operations provide accessible, educational jobs for emerging environmental leaders while creating more opportunities for our community to address climate change. We work at the intersection of environmental and social injustices impacting our health and ecosystem. Centering on Black, Brown, Undocumented, Migrant, Women, and LGTBQGNC young adults, we support the next generation of environmental justice leaders who will shape our city.
What we do
We collect and locally process 10,000- 12,000 lbs of organic waste monthly, year-round. We provide handmade compost to community groups, neighbors, gardeners and urban farmers to amend soil and grow food. We offer accessible healthy environmental jobs to those most impacted by the harmful legacy of the waste industry. We illustrate a local grassroots environmental justice solution to organic waste while building community resiliency.
