Board of Directors Job Posting

Volunteer Director | 3 Vacancies | Three-Year Term

About DENC

The Durham Employment and Newcomer Centre (DENC) is a community-based, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering job seekers, newcomers, and individuals facing barriers to employment throughout Durham Region. DENC is mainly funded by the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development (MLITSD), Region of Durham, and other funders like the Ontario Trillium Foundation, RBC, etc.

Through employment services, newcomer supports, training opportunities, and community partnerships, DENC helps individuals build meaningful careers, strengthen their skills, and fully participate in their communities. Our work is guided by a commitment to inclusion, collaboration, and creating pathways to success for all.

As we continue to raise our impact, we are seeking passionate and community-minded individuals to join our Board of Directors.

The Role

Board Directors help guide the strategic direction and long-term sustainability of DENC by bringing expertise in areas such as governance, fundraising, human resources, government and community relations, employment services, newcomer settlement, and lived experience perspectives. Directors provide oversight of organizational performance, policy, financial accountability, and risk management while serving as ambassadors for DENC and fostering strong relationships with funders, employers, community partners, and other stakeholders.

The Directors joining the Board at this time will contribute to DENC's growth and impact, helping guide the organization as it strengthens programs, expands partnerships, and advances its mission of empowering individuals through employment and settlement services.

Commitment

Three-year term, renewable by vote of the Board.
Monthly Board meetings (average 2 hours in length). Meetings are typically held on the last Tuesday of every month from 10am to 12pm. Meetings may be attended virtually/online or in-person.
Additional 1-2 hours of document review or other tasks as needed.
Attendance at key organizational and community events as appropriate and feasible.
Expected commitment is approximately 4 to 5 hours per month, depending on committee involvement and special initiatives.

What We Are Looking For

We recruit for the composition of the Board as a whole. With several opportunities to strengthen Board capacity, we are particularly interested in candidates from south Durham Region who bring expertise in one or more of the following areas:

Lived Experience - individuals with personal experience related to immigration, settlement, workforce transition, unemployment, disability, or overcoming barriers to employment and community participation
Fundraising & Resource Development - grant funding, donor relations, sponsorships, and revenue diversification
Governance & Legal - board governance, policy development, compliance, risk management, and strategic oversight
Government & Community Relations - municipal, provincial, and federal stakeholder engagement, advocacy, and public-sector partnerships
Settlement & Newcomer Services - newcomer integration, equity, diversity and inclusion, and community support systems
Human Resources - organizational development, talent management, leadership development, and people strategy
Employment Services & Workforce Development - labor market knowledge, employer engagement, workforce planning, and skills development

Core Requirements for All Directors

18 years of age or older
Availability to consistently meet the time commitment of 2 to 4 hours per month
Strong judgment, integrity, and a commitment to ethical decision-making
Willingness to act as an ambassador for DENC
Commitment to DENC's mission, vision, and values
Ability to work collaboratively with fellow Board members and senior leadership

Prior board experience is considered an asset but is not required. If you have professional expertise, community leadership experience, and a passion for making a difference, we encourage you to apply.

What Success Looks Like

Consistent attendance and meaningful participation in Board and committee meetings
Active contribution to governance, strategic planning, and organizational decision-making
Serving as a champion and ambassador for DENC within the community
Supporting partnerships, funding opportunities, and stakeholder engagement efforts
Bringing expertise that strengthens the organization's capacity and impact

We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, including Indigenous Peoples, racialized communities, newcomers, persons with disabilities, women, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, and individuals with lived experience related to employment and settlement challenges.
