Welcome to the Charter Schools Board Matching Portal, a project of the New York Charter Schools Association and LinkEducation. This portal was born out of a realization that without strong boards we cannot have strong schools, but that finding excellent trustees to serve on those boards can often be a challenging and time-consuming process. Likewise, we know that there are many talented New Yorkers out there across a spectrum of professions who are looking for a worthy cause to which to dedicate their time. We're hoping this portal will bring these schools and these New Yorkers together.
