Young Director – Rise on Boards

I’m excited to inform you that applications for Fora’s Rise on Boards program are now open!

The Rise on Boards program is open to young women and gender-marginalized youth in Canada between the ages of 18-25. Participants gain access to an incredible, experiential leadership opportunity through a one-year placement on a non-profit board, a comprehensive training program that covers board essentials, leadership skills and more, and access to 1-1 mentorship opportunities. Applications are open now and close on Sunday, May 5, at 23:59 EDT.

We are also recruiting professionals with governance and mentorship experience, who are looking for an opportunity to invest in and empower the next generation of leaders as volunteer Coaches! More information and our application form for Coaches can be found at: foranetwork.org/riseonboards.

Young leaders of diverse backgrounds and identities have been left out of these spaces for too long. To build equitable boards, we are training a new generation of board directors who would otherwise be left out of decision-making in organizations. Since 2017, the Rise on Boards program has trained and placed 170 emerging leaders from a range of backgrounds and experiences at the board table for the first time. 

The program is open to any community leader – no college/university experience is required. We invite participants to apply from underrepresented communities, in particular those who identify as Black, Indigenous and/or person of colour and/or participants from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.
