Who are we? Cultural Connections Institute - The Learning Exchange (CCI-LEX) provides accessible English language classes for adult newcomers with an emphasis on community-building and cultural exchange. A registered charity in downtown Edmonton, we have been changing the lives of thousands of newcomers since 2003. We are looking for new Board members who will support CCI-LEX's mission to build an exciting, multicultural, and positive learning environment that fosters community connections and belonging for all adult newcomers. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, ability to work well in small groups, and previous experience working with non-profit boards are considered assets. We are always seeking individuals from a variety of backgrounds and experiences to reflect the diversity of our community. All candidates will be considered, so if you feel passionate about CCI-LEX and what we do, please apply! Candidates are encouraged to highlight their unique perspectives, experiences and relevant skills that they would bring to the role (e.g. finance, fund development, marketing, communications, human resources, leadership, and adult education). The CCI-LEX Board of Directors is a Governance Board that assists in policy creation, strategic planning and oversight. Successful candidates are required to attend monthly board meetings and are expected to join one of the four committees: Human Resources, Governance, Fund Development and Community Engagement, or Finance.
Additional Details & Skills Required
New Board Members will take part in an orientation and observe a class to get a feel for day to day programs. Board members are also given opportunities to take part in relevant training or networking events throughout their term.
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
CCI-LEX is an awesome organization to volunteer with! The CCI-LEX Board is a great team and joining us is an opportunity to gain experience on a non-profit board, expand your network, learn new skills, and use your skills to make a difference in the lives of newcomers! Did we mention that the Board has nerdy discussions about financial forecasts, governance, fundraising, human resources policy, etc.? If this is your thing, you’ll fit right in!
