Volunteer Board Directors - Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors' Society

About Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society

Renfrew-Collingwood Seniors’ Society is a community-based charitable organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life of older adults and elders within Vancouver’s diverse Renfrew-Collingwood community.

For 50 years, the Society has provided responsive, person-centered programs and services that promote wellness, independence, social connection, and a sense of belonging. We currently operate Adult Day Programs at two locations - Alice Frith Centre and Chown Adult Day Centre.

The Opportunity

We are seeking thoughtful and community-minded individuals to join our volunteer Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors provides governance, strategic direction, and stewardship for the Society. Working collaboratively with the Executive Director, board members help ensure that the organization remains mission-focused, accountable, financially sustainable, and responsive to the evolving needs of the community.

This is an opportunity to contribute your experience and perspective to an established local charity while helping shape the future of programs and services for older adults and elders.

Experience and Perspectives We Are Seeking

We welcome applicants with a range of professional, volunteer, and lived experience. Previous board experience is an asset but is not required. Orientation and relevant organizational information will be provided to new directors.

We are particularly interested in candidates who can contribute knowledge in one or more of the following areas:

• Non-profit governance and board leadership
• Legal or regulatory matters
• Health care, seniors’ services, or community-based social services
• Human resources and organizational development
• Government relations or advocacy
• Lived experience as an older adult or caregiver

If you want to be a part of RCSS' leadership, ensure our seniors receive the best services, and contribute your skills and expertise to the community then please consider applying.

1. Your résumé or a brief professional biography; and
2. A short statement outlining your interest in the Society’s mission and the experience or perspective you would bring to the Board.
