Call for Interest – Canada SCORES National Board of Directors

National Director with Experience in Fundraising & Development

Canada SCORES, a national registered nonprofit organization, providing FREE after-school programming to vulnerable children and youth in partnership with local school districts, is currently seeking to fill a final seat on our National Board of Directors.

The existing Board includes Directors from British Columbia and Ontario, based on the current delivery model of Canada SCORES in each of those provinces. For this role, we are exclusively welcoming applicants from Ontario, and more specifically from within the Greater Toronto Area.

Canada SCORES envisions a world where all youth find their voice, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential. We inspire vulnerable children to lead healthy lives, be engaged students, and have the confidence and character to make a difference in the world. Our goal is to provide a safe and motivating space for youth to gain the confidence to make a change in not only themselves, but their communities.

We achieve significant impact by using a unique combination of soccer, poetry, and community projects to create a singular comprehensive program that emphasizes physical activity, health and wellness, self-expression, academic engagement, and community involvement. Our year-round programming inspires youth to lead healthy lives and gain the confidence to make change in their communities.

If you share our values, identify with our mission, and have a strong passion for the sport of soccer, literacy, and giving back to the community, we would like to hear from you.  We are searching for a strategic thinker with demonstrated expertise and experience in:

●       Fundraising & Development (Major Gifts, Strategic Fundraising, Annual Giving, Campaigns)

●       Youth Development through Sport (soccer), Education, or Community Service

The role of a Canada SCORES Board member is to act in good faith and with integrity and an open mind towards the best interests of the organization. The Board is responsible for upholding our bylaws, determining policy, developing and evaluating strategic priorities, and supporting fundraising initiatives to achieve approved annual budgets.

The Board currently consists of 14 directors. We are looking to add one (1) new director representing the region of Ontario. Virtual Board meetings are hosted quarterly, while Board committee and work group meetings are held in varied frequency as required.

Expressions of Interest must include (1) a completed online application form, and (2) a current CV/resume submitted by email to toronto@canadascores.org . Expressions of interest will be welcomed prior to May 16th, 2025 at 5:00 pm EST. For more information, contact our Canada SCORES Toronto Executive Director here.
