Toronto Home Energy Network Board of Directors 
Call for Applications 
Are you passionate about working with Toronto communities to reduce emissions from 
single-family homes? Do you want to help guide the growth of an exciting organization 
dedicated to driving real climate action? 

Toronto Home Energy Network (THE Network), formerly known as Toronto Home 
Retrofits, is looking for dedicated volunteers to join our Board of Directors. 

About THE Network 
THE Network is a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to reducing carbon 
emissions from Toronto’s homes. Launched in 2023 by the leadership team behind the 
Pocket Change Project, we use a proven approach, collaborating with community groups 
across Toronto and a network of partners to increase awareness and provide 
homeowners with peer support and expert personalized assistance as they plan and 
implement their home’s decarbonization. 

THE Network is addressing a critical need in the market. With single-family homes 
causing nearly one-fifth of Toronto's emissions, electrifying these homes is essential to 
achieving the city's goal of net-zero community-wide emissions by 2040. However, 
awareness of heat pumps remains low, and even homeowners motivated to eliminate 
their emissions face conflicting information and other obstacles. We focus on removing 
these barriers by sharing experience and information within communities and from 
experts. We are currently working actively with six Partner Communities to develop 
their own Pocket Change-like home decarbonization initiatives and are experiencing a 
high level of interest from both additional communities and homeowners. 

THE Network is in an active growth phase, expanding our Partner Communities across 
Toronto while building organizational capacity. Our three-person staff team works in 
close collaboration with a dedicated volunteer base to advance home electrification 
through neighbour-to-neighbour organizing. We have secured support from Toronto 
Hydro and The Atmospheric Fund, funders who recognize the effectiveness of 
community-driven approaches to climate action. We have applied for charitable status 
to expand our future funding options. 

<a href="https://www.thenetwork.to/" target="_blank">https://www.thenetwork.to/</a>
<a href="https://www.pocketchangeproject.ca/" target="_blank">https://www.pocketchangeproject.ca/</a>

While climate goals drive our work, we maintain strong community connections and find 
ways to keep our volunteers and partners engaged and motivated. The coming years will 
be a critical period for THE Network as we refine our operational foundation and expand 
the partnership networks to have a meaningful impact on Toronto’s transition to 
sustainable home heating and energy efficiency. 

Who We Are Seeking 
We are seeking three at-large members to expand our current five-member Board for a 
greater range of skills, diversity of background, and resilience of the team. We welcome 
applications from candidates who: 

• Are committed to THE Network’s mission of reducing home carbon emissions 
 • Are residents of Toronto or have strong ties to the Toronto community 
 • Have prior non-profit and/or board experience (preferred but not required) 
 • Can work well independently while collaborating extensively with our team 
 • Strengthen THE Network’s ability to partner with diverse communities across 

Toronto 
 • Bring skills to the group such as governance, fundraising, marketing, community 

organizing, volunteer management, and/or residential heat pump/HVAC market 
knowledge 

Time Commitment 
The Board meets in person (virtual provided if needed) each month at a time that suits 
the group. Board terms are three years, with the option to renew for a second 
consecutive term. In addition to attending Board meetings and occasional events, 
members are expected to contribute to Board business through officer roles or 
committee work. Board members are also encouraged, though not required, to take part 
in THE Network’s community activities. 

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 
Toronto Home Energy Network is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and 
inclusive culture in all areas of our organization. We believe the best way to fulfill our 
mission and vision is to honour the diverse situations, experiences, perspectives and 
ideas of our employees, volunteers, homeowners and their communities, donors, 
suppliers and other supporters. We aim to create a sense of belonging among all of our 
stakeholders through equitable and inclusive values, practices and policies. 

We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds and lived experiences. 


To Apply 
If the opportunity to contribute to THE Network’s success by contributing your time, 
enthusiasm, and expertise appeals to you, please apply by sending a resume and cover 
letter describing your interest to <a href="mailto:HR@thenetwork.to" target="_blank">HR@thenetwork.to</a> by January 7, 2026. 

If you’re interested but not ready to take on these board positions, we would still like to 
hear from you! Please apply and indicate that you are interested in participating as a 
volunteer. 

We thank all candidates for their interest, though we will contact only those selected for an 
interview.
