Help Build The First Founding Circle.

Core ask.

Seven Years of Change is recruiting seven women to lead the founding circle, alongside builders, advisors, and team members who can help turn the platform into working structure. We do not need perfect people. We need serious people.

The seven founding-circle seats (women-led).

  1. Community Finance Lead — the 10% line, the Community Usury Ledger, the reparations-funded relief mechanism, financial controls, community capital design.

  2. Nutrition Hub Lead — meal program design at $3 target, delivery and pickup logistics, restaurant partnerships, local producer relationships.

  3. Housing & Land Trust Lead — housing stability, shared-equity models, land stewardship, repair coordination, protection from displacement.

  4. Transportation Lead — shared rides, van pools, route planning, repair co-ops, clean-energy transition.

  5. Youth Corps Lead — youth pathways at $16/hour with a 4% match structure, coaching, learning while serving, the Water pillar student pods.

  6. Communications & House Voice Lead — the house voice across registers, public publishing, social media discipline, Spanish-language translation pipeline.

  7. Operations & Team Architect — team formation, daily operations, accountability rhythms, documenting what works.

All seven seats are women-led by structural commitment. The founding circle will decide when and how men are invited into leadership positions, once evidence of changed and improved lives and planet is in hand.

Founder's role

Geoff is the founder, witness, and platform architect. His role is to hold the moral center, recruit the first founding circle, write the public witness record, protect the mission, and step back when the women's leadership is in place. The founder does not replace the teams. The teams make the work real.
