The Elgin Children’s Foundation was founded in 1992 in response to a growing need for funds to provide services for abused and neglected children in our community. Associated with Family and Children, Services of St. Thomas and Elgin, but incorporated as a separate body with its own board of Directors, the Elgin Children’s Foundation supports children’s programs which do not receive government funding, or for which of the funding is insufficient.
The Foundation is actively recruiting new Board Members to join our team of dedicated leaders and is accepting applications from all interested parties.
The Elgin Children's Foundation is committed to supporting and advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in our organization and within the communities we serve and is interested in hearing from individuals who identify as African Canadian, Indigenous, racialized, LGBTQ2S+, Low German-speaking Mennonite and / or persons with disabilities.
If you believe healthy families make healthy communities and want to help guide our future work and make an important difference in your community, you can apply to join our team. Board members must be 18 years of age or older and live in St. Thomas or Elgin County. You must also undergo a Criminal Record Check and Child Welfare Screening.
All interested candidates are encouraged to request a volunteer application be emailing nhubert@caselgin.on.ca or by calling 519-631-1492 ext. 510.
We look forward to hearing from you.
