Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors provides vision and direction for Broad Reach. Board members liaise with youth-serving agencies, build relationships with sponsorship partners, and oversee staff and program performance.
Each member contributes a minimum of 40 hours of volunteer time annually, bringing their unique skills and staying directly connected to the needs of the youth we serve. The Board meets monthly in downtown Toronto, with members expected to actively participate on committees, at events, and in fundraising initiatives.
We are always looking for dedicated candidates to join our Board and standing or ad hoc committees. If you have relevant experience and a genuine commitment to our mission, we’d love to hear from you — get in touch.
