Support those making a difference in the lives of women experiencing gender-based violence.
Family Transition Place (FTP) is seeking a passionate, dedicated community member to join our Board of Directors. If you are looking for a meaningful way to give back and create lasting change, this is your opportunity.
Who We’re Looking For
Our top priority at this time is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) in good standing. However, while the CPA role is our current focus, we welcome applications from all interested individuals. Previous board experience is an asset but is not required, and we strongly encourage applications from persons who identify as marginalized. Your unique perspective, lived experience, and voice matter here.
Do you want to make a meaningful impact in your community? Do you have skills, knowledge, or a point of view that could help shape a better future? We want to hear from you.

Volunteering your time to participate on a non-profit board offers an important opportunity to have a long-lasting impact on your community. Through a process known almost universally as board governance, boards of directors are responsible for the overall well-being, and not the day-to-day operations, of the non-profit they support. In this way, governance refers to the oversight role a board of directors assumes, while the management of the organization itself, and any staff, is delegated to the executive director. This might mean, for example, that while the board of directors helps make decisions about funding allocations, or the organization’s mission, vision, values and strategic planning, it is the executive director and their team who make staffing decisions, manage the payroll function, set the hours of work, are responsible for financial records keeping and who handle the myriad of daily tasks associated with the non-profits daily operations. Volunteering your time as a board member with FTP will not involve direct interaction with clients. For other type of volunteering please visit our Volunteering webpage.
