We are currently looking for people with backgrounds and experience in:
- Fundraising (developing fundraising strategies; new campaigns)
- Non-Profit Board Development (participating in the development of Fresh Roots’ organizational capacity)
- BC Education System (Board of Education, district administration, public/private school, teacher)
- Finance (accounting, budgeting, banking or investment)
- Health / Nutrition (public health interest, nutritionist or physician/pediatrician)
- Chef and/or Foodie (locally grown and seasonal cuisine, embedded within the local culinary community)

Previous involvement in non-profit organizational development, landscape architecture, education, food literacy, agriculture, would be considered an asset.

Hello Fresh Roots!
Happy to introduce myself as a candidate for a new board member. I am a BA graduate of Tyndale University’s Business Administration-Non-profit Management program and recently moved to Vancouver. I have a strong passion for food sovereignty and social justice across the globe and a hospitality/chef background. Since living in Vancouver I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to work for and manage Sole Food Street Farms in Olympic Village, where we partnered with Fresh Roots on many occasions. Recently, I have stepped into a new role as a Donor Relations Associate for Ecojustice, an Canada-wide environmental protection non-profit. I would be happy to contribute my skills and knowledge on the board of directors at Fresh Roots. Looking forward to discussing this opportunity further.
Thank you,
Kaitlyn
