We have various roles you can be involved in that do not require you to go in the field, although you are more than welcome to be both a searcher and involved in a supporting role. If you are interested in getting involved in any of the supporting roles, please contact us.
Reviewer for Annual Financial Reports
YKSAR bylaws require that the financials be reviewed by two members annually. These volunteers would be responsible for:
- Reviewing financial records (receipts, invoices, cheque stubs, bank reconciliations)
- Reviewing financial reports (balance sheet, income statement)
- Providing an independent opinion of the financial reports
YKSAR does not have a large volume of expenditures annually so the time commitment is expected to be approximately 5 hours.
Board of Directors (AGM in June)
In June, YKSAR will be electing the board of directors for the next year. Below is a summary of the roles and responsibilities.
- The Board provides governance, strategic direction, and financial oversight to ensure the organization fulfills its mission effectively.
- Each position is subject to election at the Annual General Meeting.
- Board Members serve for a term of one year.
- Board Members may serve for multiple terms.
- Board Members often serve in other capacities in the organization (e.g. Board Member, and Search Manager), but this is not required.
- Board meetings are usually held once a month, up to two hours long, plus 1-2 hours a month for other contributions (e.g. reviewing materials for board meetings)
- In addition, the President, Treasurer, and Secretary may need to contribute up to 10 hours a month, depending on the required workload.
Bingo Workers
Being a non-profit, we work events to fundraise for the organization. One of those events is assisting with bingo at the Tree of Peace.
- No experience necessary
- Non-YKSAR members are welcome
- Must be comfortable handling cash
