Are you a community-oriented individual looking to gain more experience in Board governance? Do you have 5 hours a month to commit to a local nonprofit? Are you passionate about building a healthier and more inclusive society?

The Squamish Volunteer Centre Society is a registered charity and nonprofit organisation with history in Squamish stretching back to 1997! We’re looking to expand our Board of Directors. In particular, we’re looking for folks with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• accounting and finance; 
• nonprofit management; 
• immigration policy or settlement services; 
• business management (bonus if it’s related to a bookstore!); 
• fundraising and marketing; and 
• information technology. 

We strongly encourage people with previous experience serving on Boards of Directors. We also really welcome applications from people with lived experience with immigration, English learning, disability, and social exclusion. 

Required skills:
Board Members should, above all, have the energy and interest in participating in this community endeavour. Important skills for Board Members include active listening skills, lots of patience, capacity for compromise, creativity, and enthusiasm.
How to apply:
Please send a CV and cover letter explaining your interest, experience, relevant skills, and general availability to info@welcomesquamish.ca.

New board members will be nominated at the next AGM in June 2023.
