Pride Toronto is seeking individuals for its Board of Directors to help lead the organization. The Director role is an unpaid, volunteer position and requires an average 10-15 hour commitment per month (higher in May and June). Elections would take place during Pride Toronto’s Annual General Meeting in January 2025.
We are recruiting people who support the mission, vision, and values of the organization and are passionate about serving the 2SLGBTQI+ community in Toronto and beyond. Pride Toronto supports our communities in the pursuit of our unequivocal rights to be known, be heard, be understood, be accepted, be respected, and to celebrate the beauty of who we are.
It is critical that Pride Toronto’s Board of Directors represents the diversity of our community and we strongly encourage individuals from historically marginalized communities to apply. Pride Toronto specifically welcomes applications from Two-Spirit, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) communities, Women, older 2SLGBTQI+ adults, Trans / Non-binary people, 2SLGBTQI+ people with disabilities, youth over the age of 18, and individuals with accounting/financial management experience. We are also looking for demonstrated experience in the following areas:
- Legal/Governance
- Not-for-Profit Management
- Artist, Community, Government, and Stakeholder Relations
- Human Resources Management
- Sponsorship and Fundraising
Previous Board experience is an asset, and we recognize lived experience as a valuable attribute.
