Volunteer Secretary, Board of Directors

About Enral Education

Enral Education is a Canadian nonprofit dedicated to supporting children’s emotional development, cultural identity, and sense of belonging. Our programs are designed for children ages 3–8 from immigrant and multicultural families, with an initial focus on Muslim immigrant and second-generation families in urban Canada.

Through Montessori-inspired learning, storytelling, creative expression, practical life activities, and social-emotional development, Enral Education helps children build confidence, cultural connection, and a strong sense of identity in a supportive learning environment.

As we grow our weekend, after-school, and summer programs, we are seeking committed volunteer Board Members to help guide the organization’s governance, strategy, and long-term impact.
