Board Director — Help Launch a Calgary Makerspace (Finance, Legal, or Governance)

Ongoing
EDGE Calgary Makerspace Society is a brand-new nonprofit on a mission of radical access — giving Calgarians free, hands-on access to world-class tools (3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, electronics benches) and one-on-one mentorship, so anyone can turn "what if" into "what is." We focus on youth, newcomers, and job-seekers who would otherwise be priced out of high-tech learning.

We're seeking 2 experienced volunteers to join our founding Board of Directors and help guide the organization through its critical early stage. This is a meaningful chance to shape a new community organization from the ground up.

We're especially looking for people with a background in one of:
- Finance / accounting (treasurer-type oversight)
- Legal
- Fundraising or grant-writing
- Nonprofit governance

No prior board experience required — just relevant professional skills, integrity, and a genuine belief in opportunity through making. Directors attend regular board meetings (most can be virtual), help with governance and strategy, and act as ambassadors for EDGE in the community.

If you'd like to lend your expertise to something real and growing, we'd love to hear from you. Not sure you're ready for a full board seat? Ask us about joining an advisory committee first to get to know the organization.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Shape a brand-new community organization from day one and see your guidance create real impact. Gain or strengthen nonprofit governance experience, expand your professional network, and add meaningful board service to your portfolio , all while helping make technology and creativity accessible to every Calgarian.
