Board Member - Family Supports Institute Ontario

Family Supports Institute Ontario (FSIO) is a non-profit organization governed by an active Board of professionals who have knowledge and expertise about the needs of young families and the professionals that work with them. FSIO acts as a resource and a conduit for the dissemination of current information, in addition to providing professional development opportunities, including workshops, Town Halls, and advocacy opportunities. FSIO seeks to advocate and act as a "voice" for those who work with families and children in a variety of family support settings to actively inform and influence policy developments and discussions at all levels of government.

FSIO continually focuses on supporting professionals who support children and families in all types of family support programs, including EarlyON Child and Family Centres. We continue to consult with the province and relay the perspectives of the sector. We are focused on giving our members a voice at the table to ensure that the Guiding Principles of Family Support are upheld and that the dual focus of child and family is at the forefront.

We are recruiting for our Board of Directors and various committees to support advocacy, professional learning, communications and outreach. If you are interested in building the sector's capacity, wish to become a member, or support FSIO, please get in touch with us at fsio.ontario@gmail.com for more information and to receive a volunteer application. Please also see our website at www.fsio.ca. We will accept applications from individuals and agency representatives from across the province.
