Board Recruitment

The Catholic Children’s Aid Foundation is a private foundation which supports the needs of the children, youth and families who are served by the Catholic Children’s Aid Society (CCAS). We are inspired by Catholic values and teachings to do this work, together with our donors, the Catholic Children’s Society and the broader Catholic community.

The Foundation manages combined assets of over $70 million dollars and is committed to fund programs which bridge the gap between services already provided and funded by government and the child welfare sector, and those services truly needed to help Catholic children, youth and families flourish. Examples are our scholarship program and initiatives designed to prepare youth for leaving care and entering adult life.

We are informed in this respect by the knowledge and expertise provided by the workers of the CCAS including, in particular, the needs of vulnerable populations which enable us to reach communities in meaningful ways.

Our Board

The Foundation’s Board consists of 10 volunteer members who participate in Board meetings, committee meetings, and an Annual General meeting. Members are expected to attend these meetings and share their knowledge and expertise in furtherance of Board oversight and fiduciary responsibilities.

Currently we are recruiting for a Board position with a particular focus on candidates, preferably Catholic who possessed child welfare/social work knowledge and experience.

The Foundation serves an ethno, racial and gender-diverse Catholic community and is committed to fostering an environment of equity, inclusion and accessibility that is reflective of the community served.
