Join our Board of Directors
Passionate about making a meaningful difference in the lives of newcomer women and their families? We would love to hear from you regarding volunteer openings on the Centre’s Board of Directors! The term of the Director role is three years. Previous Board experience is not required.
The Working Women Community Centre (the “Centre”) exists to help newcomer women and their families thrive in Toronto and beyond. We are a large community organization that advocates for, empowers and supports newcomer women and their families through a full range of services ranging from education, to settlement, language, food security and beyond. By supporting women, we enable them to build their capacity so that they can be active participants and contributors in their communities. Because when women thrive, their communities rise. When communities rise, society flourishes.
We are looking for people who would like to be involved in the Centre, to be a part of our People and Culture Committee and to help advance our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB). On average, the monthly commitment is 6-hours, including a virtual Board meeting on the first Wednesday of each month.
As a Board member, you will work with the Executive Director and other
Directors on strategic decision-making and oversight, monitoring
performance, overseeing quality and risk management, and ensuring
sustainable operations through fiscal stewardship. You will also advance
program and service delivery through fundraising activities.
We are currently seeking people with an interest and expertise in the following areas:
● DEIB
● Policy development,
● Human resources management in a unionized workplace,
● Fundraising,
● Communications, and/or marketing
The Centre actively supports a culture of collaboration, diversity, equity,
inclusion and access, and welcomes applicants from the many communities it serves.
To indicate your interest in this leadership opportunity, please forward your CV to admin@workingwomencc.org by February 24, 2025.
