Overview

We’re Recruiting Community Leaders to Join Our Volunteer Board of Directors

Today’s Family Early Learning and Child Care is a non-profit, charitable, and community-driven agency serving more than 7,500 children (and their families) across Hamilton, Halton, Haldimand-Norfolk, Peel, and Oxford County.

At Today’s Family, we believe that every child and family deserves access to high-quality, inclusive, and culturally responsive early learning and care. As we grow and expand across communities, we are looking for passionate leaders to join our volunteer Board of Directors to help shape the future of child care in Ontario.

We believe that all children and families deserve affordable, high-quality, accessible, and inclusive early learning and child care programs that reflects the diversity of our communities. Today’s Family’s programs and services continue to grow to reflect the strengths and changing needs of families within our communities.

We have openings for board members with diverse skills, talents, lived experiences, and expertise. If you’re as passionate about the well-being of children and families as we are, if you’re interested

in governing an organization that truly makes a difference, and if you’re ready to help steer Today’s Family toward a future that is bright and even more impactful, we want to hear from you!

Candidates are assessed using a merit-based process, the primary focus being the degree to which the skills and expertise of the prospective board member meet the needs of Today’s Family. Board members must possess relevant expertise, leadership skills, and appropriate experience. In addition, board members must have an interest in and an understanding of local and family opportunities and needs, as well as those of the early learning and child care sector.

We are seeking experts in governmental relations, rural experience, early learning, and community service. We also welcome individuals with expertise or lived experience in equity, diversity, inclusion, and reconciliation.

We are committed to building a Board that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve – including people from Indigenous, Black, racialized, newcomer, 2SLGBTQIA+, and disability communities.
