Our Mission: We empower women and girls through a trauma informed, inclusive
and gender responsive lens. Our client-focused approach strengthens emotional,cultural and social well being, through prevention, support, reintegration and
advocacy

The Opportunity:
The EFry Hope and Help for Women is seeking new Board Members who are passionate about our mission and values to join our Volunteer Board.

TThe Organization:
The EFry Hope and Help for Women is an independent, not for profit charitable organization that supports some of society’s most vulnerable populations – women, girls and children at risk, involved in or affected by the justice system. We run more than two dozen programs that work to break the cycle of poverty, addiction, mental illness, homelessness and crime. EFry clients range in age from newborn to senior citizens. Most live in poverty. Some are homeless. Many are without support networks or the tools necessary to build a brighter future for themselves and their families. Virtually all are either at risk of becoming involved, involved oraffected by the justice system.

EFry helps 5,000+ clients every year through our programs. Our funding comes from a
combination of government contracts and private sector donations.
Volunteers are a vital part of the EFry family. Fifty-two (52) years ago, a small group of
volunteers who were determined to make a difference created EFry after witnessing the
treatment of women in the justice system. Today, volunteers remain at the heart of all we do,supporting our programs in prisons, at our facilities and in the community.

The Role:
EFry Board members direct and lead in the Vision, Mission and Values, and work in collaboration with the Executive Director to ensure sound governance oversight. The board provides mission-based leadership and strategic insight, while day-to-day operations are led by the Executive Director.&nbsp;The Board – Management relationship is a partnership and the committed engagement of the board is both critical and expected.

Interested in joining the EFry Board? Ask yourself these questions:
<ul><li>Do you have an understanding of our community and its needs, the importance of
women-only services?
</li><li>Are you willing and able to commit time for at least four Board meetings/year plus
committee meetings, planning sessions, and special events?
</li><li>Do you listen well, and are you thoughtful in considering issues such as long-term
housing solutions for ex-prisoners?
</li><li>Can you add value to the board with your background in finance &amp; accounting, property and asset management, government relations, health and/or social services?

STEPPING STONE STRATEGIC PLAN RFPRequest for Proposals No.: RFP 0620.25Issued: October 21, 2025Submission Deadline: December 5, 2025Stepping Stone is seeking proposals from qualified consultants or firms to facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategic plan that will guide our organization over the next 3-5 years. &nbsp;The selected consultant will work closely with Stepping Stone leadership, staff, stakeholders, and the community to develop a strategic vision, priorities, and an implementation roadmap.WHO ARE WEStepping Stone is an innovative grassroots organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Guelph. Originally known as the Drop In Centre, Stepping Stone was founded in 1983 by a local nun, Sister Christine Leyser, to address a need for support, food and accommodation for those affected by homelessness. An emerging need for emergency overnight shelter led to the opening of Stepping Stone in 1986 in partnership with the County of Wellington.&nbsp;Although the Drop In Centre and the Stepping Stone addressed a critical need for emergency shelter, there was a growing recognition over the ensuing years that without an increase in permanent housing, homelessness would continue to grow. Consequently, in 2021 the Drop In Centre restructured under the name Stepping Stone and shifted its primary focus from providing emergency shelter services, to securing and providing permanent housing for those experiencing homelessness. A significant milestone in realizing this new mission was the opening of Grace Gardens in August 2023. With the assistance of the Federal Government and the County of Wellington, Stepping Stone purchased and renovated a local motel, transforming it into 32 permanent supportive housing units, now collectively known as Grace Gardens.&nbsp;Stepping Stone has grown rapidly over the past five years and now provides a broad array of services including outreach for those unwilling or unable to engage with the health and social service system; emergency overnight shelter; preventative and ongoing support for those requiring assistance to maintain their housing; and the provision of permanent housing through facilities such as Grace Gardens.&nbsp;The Board and Staff have shown adaptability, resilience, and dedication over the past few years of rapid expansion and are strongly committed to finding and applying innovative and creative solutions to overcoming homelessness. A detailed description of Stepping Stone’s services is available at&nbsp; <a href="https://steppingstonegw.com" target="_blank">https://steppingstonegw.com</a>.About the NeedStepping Stone has grown significantly over the past five years and is transitioning from a small grassroots organization to one with increased administrative needs, greater organizational accountability, and higher service expectations from funders, community partners and those accessing service.
