Join Our Board of Directors

Burlington, ONThe Compassion Society of Halton has been serving the Halton community for over 26 years. While we started in Mina's basement with a single rack of clothing, we have grown to be quite a force in the Halton Community. We are evolving into a community service hub, providing food, clothing, and support for other services to our region’s most vulnerable, and we continue to see the demand for our services grow. To maintain our trajectory of success, we are currently recruiting for members (3) to serve on our Board for a two-year term.

We are interested in candidates with specific skills and experience in marketing or fundraising. We are also seeking an individual with legal expertise.

New Board members will play an important role in guiding the organization and help shape the lasting difference we make in our community together.
