About FCJ Refugee Centre
FCJ Refugee Centre helps uprooted people overcome the challenges of rebuilding their lives in Canadian society. With an open-door approach, the Centre offers an integrated model of refugee protection, settlement services and education, including shelter for women and their children.
Positions
The Centre is seeking new members for its Board of Directors. One position requires skills and experience in financial management and accounting to assume the role of Board Treasurer. A second position is earmarked for a former resident of the FCJ Refugee Centre’s transitional housing program. Another position is unrestricted.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the effective strategic direction and governance of the organization. The Board meets on a monthly basis throughout most of the year. Meetings are normally convened on zoom, but board members are expected to attend an in-person AGM (Annual General Meeting) and other Centre events in Toronto.
The ideal candidate will draw upon their experiences of progressive leadership, direct knowledge of the refugee and newcomer sector, as well as demonstrated commitment to social justice, as these will help strengthen the organization and increase its impact.
Term Lengths: The term length for all positions is for two years. The maximum number of terms a member can serve on the Board is three consecutive terms or six years.
Appointment: The Nominations Committee recommends appointments for ratification at FCJ Refugee Centre’s Annual General Meeting on June 11, 2026.
