BOARD OF DIRECTORS OPPORTUNITY

Join us in strengthening services
for children, youth and parents
in Haliburton County!

Point in Time is looking for talented
and conscientious volunteer board
members to work with the board to
provide leadership and help strengthen
our programs for children, youth and
parents with the goal of ensuring they
achieve their highest potential.

We are particularly interested in:
• People who have experience on
non-profit boards
• People who can provide leadership
with the board
• People with financial, legal, governance
or senior executive expertise

If you can contribute your time,
thoughtfulness, and leadership one
evening a month, and are interested
in exploring this opportunity
to contribute to the community,
call 705-457-5345 ext 300
or email: info@pointintime.ca
to find out whether
this volunteer opportunity
is right for you.

Point in Time welcomes and appreciates volunteers. Many volunteer opportunities are available. All volunteers go through a rigorous screening process including an interview, reference check and criminal reference check. Our volunteer co-ordinator works within the agency volunteer framework to co-ordinate orientation of volunteers to the agency procedures and their specific position. The nature and level of training is tailored to the specific volunteer activity chosen. For example, a volunteer driver would require different training than a respite worker although there would be some commonalities.

Please call Point in Time at (705) 457-5345 if you are interested in volunteering.
