Board Members govern and lead non-profits through the strategic opportunities and challenges that arise when making an impact on Toronto and its residents.

Non-profits need Board Members with a variety of skills to achieve their organization’s goals. Whatever your professional background, serving as a board member can develop your soft skills and help you learn new ones.

Becoming a Board Member is for people interested in joining a non-profit board, including what you need to know about boards, the skills and experience needed for board roles, and how to find board opportunities.
