Volunteer Board Director

An invitation to First Nations, Métis and Inuit people

Moms Against Racism (MAR) Canada | National | Remote

Moms Against Racism Canada is actively inviting First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who feel aligned with our work to consider joining us in shaping MAR's next chapter as a Director on our 2027 Board.

We have up to four Board positions available for 2027 and are hoping to welcome and build relationships with First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who may want to learn, lead and do this work alongside us, bringing their own knowledge, experiences and ways of being as we collectively shape MAR’s future.

Why We're Making This Invitation

MAR's work takes place on Indigenous lands, and we embrace our responsibility to be good community members and to build relationships with Indigenous peoples grounded in respect, reciprocity and accountability. We believe our governance is strengthened by Indigenous voices, knowledge, lived experience and ways of being, and right now, those voices are underrepresented on our Board. We want to change that.

What Board Service Looks Like

MAR Directors help guide the organization, make important decisions and keep MAR accountable to our mission and communities. You don't need years of Board experience or a long list of credentials. We value professional expertise alongside lived experience, cultural and community knowledge, caregiving, advocacy, navigating systems, relationship-building and other ways of knowing and being.

The Commitment

• Term: Three years, with the possibility of reappointment

• Board meetings: Approximately 1.5 hours monthly

• Committee and governance work: Approximately 3–4 additional hours per month, depending on role and organizational needs

• Participation: Directors prepare for meetings, participate in at least one Board committee or priority governance project, and engage in ongoing learning and reflection

A Reciprocal Commitment

As a MAR Director, you'll be invited to bring your ideas, questions, relationships, skills, lived experience and capacity into our shared work. In return, we hope MAR can be a place of meaningful connection, learning and shared purpose, where we grow in relationship with one another while contributing to work that builds a better future for our kids.

If this feels like a community and governance space you may want to be part of, we'd love to meet you.

Nominations close: November 1st, 2026
