Opportunity Description:

Our volunteer Board of Directors is looking for new members to serve the community!

Since 1993, Victoria Community Resources Society (VCRS) has provided residential and community support for adults with diverse abilities living in the capital region. We believe all people, with or without disabilities, share the human experience together and that every human being is entitled to live a good life within his or her home. The VCRS board is looking for people who would like to make a positive contribution to the lives and communities of supported individuals.

The board includes both representatives of the individuals we support as well as community members. We are a governance board looking to complement our existing skill sets and are seeking individuals committed to learning, collaboration, and action. While we would consider all those who are interested, our current needs are for:

• Human Resource Experience
• Legal Experience
• Relative or advocate for a community living services recipient

The board meets virtually 6 times a year and in task forces and committee meetings as needed. Board members contribute 4-6hrs a month to board activities.
