We are a 100% volunteer-run non-profit organization

We are always accepting new volunteers, regardless of experience or education! Every person brings unique skills to our board and we consider it a privilege to collaborate with individuals from all backgrounds. The more diversity and representation on our board, the more we can all learn from one another!

Since Covid-19, our board meetings are currently held virtually, over Zoom, in the early evening of the second Tuesday, either bimonthly or monthly if needed. Board members are expected to prioritize attending as many of these meetings as possible, and are the only voting members. These individuals collectively make governance decisions, pass motions, and uphold the values and responsibilities of the organization. Associate members and guests are welcome to attend all meetings, contribute to discussions and participate in project committee meetings.

Please reach out to us at info@varj.ca if you’d like to receive more information about attending meetings, volunteering with an ongoing or upcoming project or would like to become a member.
