We encourage applications in particular from people who live outside the peninsula, individuals from racialized groups, Indigenous people, women, people with disabilities, people of diverse faiths, people of diverse social classes, people with diverse gender identities, and people with diverse sexual orientations.

What does the Board of Directors do?

The Board of Directors provides governance, leadership, fundraising, and financial oversight to our staff and operations. Directors sit on one or more committees, where most of the work happens. These committees are:
