CENTRAL NEIGHBOURHOOD HOUSE ( CNH) delivers programs for youth, new Canadians, low-income families, women, and seniors. What is unique about CNH is that they do not simply provide services; they promote the old-school notion of the "involved neighbour". They connect and respectfully engage all of their neighbours across class, culture and generations.
Founded in 1911, CNH is the second largest settlement house in Toronto. Located in downtown east, CNH engages 10,000 individuals (in over ten languages, including American Sign Language) from Regent Park, St. James Town, Moss Park, Cabbagetown and other local neighbourhoods. We facilitate over 50,000 community-based experiences per year. As one of the first United Way funded agencies, CNH is recognized for its role in creating connected, safe, and thriving neighbourhoods. CNH has the following volunteer opportunities available:
BOARD MEMBER – If you have a background in Finance and experience/knowledge of Not-for-Profit agencies, and REALLY want to help make a difference in this downtown neighbourhood agency, then a board position with this organization may be a wonderful collaboration between you and CNH.
LEGAL SUPPORT – CNH is looking for someone who can assist in reviewing documentation supporting the board and the agency. Your services would begin with an initial meeting, with reviews being completed on your own time. This position is necessary to ensure that the great work being done by this agency can be continued across the city.
MARKETING / PUBLIC RELATIONS – CNH wants to continue to get the word out on the street to let everyone know about the great work they can do and how people can be connected. CNH needs the help of a marketing or PR professional to take on the challenge of raising awareness and generating a community outreach strategy to help develop fundraising ideas.
