Director of IT

**Applications due October 6, 2025**
Free Your Mind Mental Health Society, or Free Your Mind (FYM), is a youth-led not-for-profit. It was founded with youth mental health in mind. One in five Canadian youths will experience a serious mental health struggle in any given year, and only a quarter of them will receive the help they need and deserve.

Stigma prevents struggling youth from seeking help, and our founders are determined to change that. Free Your Mind draws on the power of real, young voices and amplifies them. We speak out about mental health through social media, blogging, and our community events.

The Director of IT leads and oversees Free Your Mind’s digital infrastructure, ensuring that all online platforms and tools operate smoothly and securely. You will manage a small team of IT volunteers, providing guidance and support while collaborating with other directors. IT volunteers assist with website updates, virtual event setup, cybersecurity monitoring, and digital troubleshooting. As Director of IT, your role is to support IT volunteers in their daily tasks, mentor them when needed, and take the lead in maintaining a secure and functional digital environment. You will coordinate weekly or bi-weekly check-ins to monitor progress, address technical challenges, and provide guidance on complex projects and coding. You will also work closely with FYM’s executive leadership, attending monthly director meetings, providing updates on IT initiatives, and identifying opportunities to improve digital workflows. Collaboration with other team leads may be required to support cross-departmental initiatives. Please recognize that this role description is a framework and may evolve as the needs of the organization and IT team change.
