“We are looking for volunteers who are passionate about women’s issues and have the desire to be involved with an organization that provides life-saving emergency shelter and support programs, tools and resources that help women and children thrive,” said Wendy Hicks, YWCA Peterborough Haliburton Board President. “The YWCA plays a vital role in our community and its sustainability depends on women who will make impactful decisions in support of our mission: to support the right of all women and their families to live free from violence, poverty and oppression as they build their desired futures.”

Those interested in volunteering should have between 10 – 12 hours a month to contribute and submit information through the online application by April 1.

“We value varied skills and experiences, and we are particularly interested in the areas of finance, human resources, strategic planning and governance",” said Kelly Zatorski, Chair of the Nominating Committee. As an organization, we have always been committed to ensuring a diverse perspective, one that is a reflection of the communities we serve.”

Candidates who meet this year's requirements will be invited to submit their resumes, followed by 30-minute virtual interviews scheduled toward the end of April. New appointments will be made at the YWCA’s annual meeting in June 2022.
