Volunteers

Due to limited capacity and the specific needs of our community, we are currently unable to accomodate in-person volunteering at our Drop-in but do encourage you to consider joining a Board Committee or keep in touch for updates as we continue to navigate changes with COVID-19.

Join a Board Committee!

We are seeking volunteers for PARC Board Committees which cover five areas; Advocacy, Finance, Governance, Human Resources, and Fundraising/Development.  These are working committees that typically meet monthly to support and advance our work.  

Volunteering as a committee member is a great way to become familiar with the culture, priorities, ways of working and people at PARC. It is also a requirement prior to joining the PARC Board of Directors, should that be of interest. 

Each committee has a workplan and seek specific skills for their area of focus.  A short description of each follows, and we encourage anyone with relevant experience, knowledge and interest to apply. 

Advocacy Committee  
Develops, coordinates and promotes PARC activities that will raise public awareness of social justice issues in Parkdale and the City of Toronto.   

Finance Committee
Oversees organizational budgeting, financial planning and policy-making, and financial reporting, including working with the Finance Director to create the annual Audited Financial Statements. 

Governance Committee 
Leads Board and Committee recruitment and nominations, including candidate education and orientation; Board evaluation; reviews, updates and proposes new organizational policies; “good governance” oversight. 

Human Resources Committee 
Oversees PARC’s Human Resources strategy and the regular review and revision of the Executive Director performance appraisal process. 

Resource & Development Committee 
Supports the implementation of the annual communications and fundraising plan including event outreach and engagement, external communications, and donor initiatives.
