Board Member

The minimum time commitment is 4 hours a month from September to June. This includes preparing for and attending a monthly Board meeting estimated as a two- three hours commitment and two-hours of additional support in your area of interest. A greater commitment of time, based on your area of interest would, be appreciated. Meeting times will be determined by the availability of members. We hope to move to more face-to-face meetings at our 847 Princess Street location. Monthly on-line meetings have been the most regular format. Current Board meetings are at 4:30 on the first Monday of the month.

No specific qualifications or certifications required. Experience in education, marketing, leadership, finance or grant writing an asset. Ability to listen, understand, reflect and to contribute to discussions and activities valued.

Volunteers will initially actively support and potentially eventually guide one of key areas of responsibilities: program development and delivery, grant writing, marketing, fundraising, finance and policy review and revisions. We have an opening for a vice-chair.

Volunteer will be gain a positive feeling from being part of a small, growing organization where everyone is contributing to providing a opportunity for children to learn about Kingston, gain inquiry-based learning skill, and to set them on a path to active citizenship. Volunteers will have an opportunity to use their skills for a good cause.
