Executive Director

Food4Kids Ontario provides healthy food on weekends and during the summer months for children with limited or no access to food.

Food4Kids started in Hamilton in 2012 when a 10-year-old child was met waiting outside on a cold wintry morning for a breakfast program. School nutrition programs feed kids during the school day, but there was a gap where kids living in deep poverty were going hungry on the weekends. A group of dedicated volunteers developed the Food4Kids program and grew it into a major success in Hamilton and Halton. Soon, other communities started noticing Food4Kids and its impact, and other passionate individuals started Food4Kids in their areas, too. Six affiliated Chapters provide healthy food for more than 3,800 children through 254 local schools every weekend in Hamilton, Halton, Mississauga, Niagara, Muskoka and Toronto.

Today, Food4Kids Ontario provides resources and support for existing Food4Kids Chapters to grow capacity, increase reach and build strength to ensure a consistent delivery model.

Within this context, Food4Kids Ontario welcomes applications and nominations for the appointment of its Executive Director. This appointment calls for a transformative leader with the drive to take Food4Kids Ontario to its next level of achievement as the organization continues to expand.

Reporting to a volunteer Board of Directors, the Executive Director will provide strategy, vision, and innovation to advance the mandate of Food4Kids Ontario and support a collective vision – an Ontario where no child goes hungry. The Executive Director will help increase and further define Food4Kids Ontario’s value to existing Chapters and optimize opportunities for collaboration. The Executive Director will oversee all aspects of Food4Kids Ontario’s operations, including fundraising, financial management, program management, board governance, and traditional and digital communications. In partnership with the Board of Directors, the Chapters, and the Food4Kids Ontario community, the Executive Director will play a key role in the development and implementation of an action-oriented and impactful Strategic Plan that promotes growth, efficiency, and Chapter cohesion. Externally, as a key spokesperson for Food4Kids Ontario, the Executive Director will represent and champion the organization and cultivate relationships across the province to strengthen and expand the reach of the Chapters.

As the ideal candidate, you are a visionary and collaborative leader with a passion for and commitment to an Ontario where no child goes hungry. You have progressive experience in senior leadership roles, preferably within a not-for-profit organization. You understand the dynamics of working with and in support of a volunteer Board of Directors. You possess financial management, fundraising, and advocacy skills and experience, and are comfortable serving as an organizational spokesperson. You are entrepreneurial, a builder, and can operate in a smaller not-for profit organization. You have the required skill to support and manage multi dynamic relationships with all Food4Kids Ontario’s Chapters. Your exceptional communication skills inspire trust and enable you to build and sustain strong and collaborative relationships with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels, including various levels of government. You can leverage strong research skills to make data-driven decisions, and you are decisive, proactive, and a problem solver who can set and drive high-impact strategic directions to realize the vision of Food4Kids Ontario. Demonstrated commitment to advancing equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility is required. Experience and knowledge of supply chain and procurement is an asset.

Salary: Starting at $100,000 with possible flexibility commensurate with experience

The National Union provides assistance and co-ordination, and national and international representation.
NUPGE’s mission is to improve the lives of working families and to build a stronger Canada by ensuring our common wealth is used for the common good. Additionally, NUPGE’s mission as a National Union is to:

Jack.org, une organisation nationale d’avant-garde dans le domaine de la santé mentale des jeunes, a pour mission d’autonomiser les jeunes en leur fournissant les ressources, la communauté et les outils nécessaires pour devenir des leaders dans la promotion du bien-être mental. Forte du soutien de donateur.rice.s fidèles, d’une réserve financière solide, d’un leadership visionnaire et d’une équipe hautement performante, Jack.org est idéalement placée pour répondre aux défis critiques de la santé mentale des jeunes à travers le Canada. L’organisation se distingue par son approche innovante de la prévention en amont de la détresse mentale et par ses programmes adaptés à des communautés et des groupes de jeunes diversifiés, notamment ceux systématiquement exclus du dialogue et des initiatives en matière de santé mentale. Fondée en mémoire de Jack Windeler, un étudiant de première année à l’Université Queen’s décédé par suicide à l’âge de 18 ans, Jack.org a été créée par ses parents, Eric Windeler et Sandra Hanington. Leur vision était d’offrir aux jeunes une éducation en santé mentale et de garantir que ceux.celles qui en ont besoin puissent accéder au soutien nécessaire. Aujourd’hui, Jack.org est reconnue pour son rôle central dans l’éducation des jeunes sur ces enjeux et pour ses efforts en faveur d’un dialogue inclusif et national.

Dans cette perspective, Jack.org lance un appel à candidatures et nominations pour le poste de Président.e-Directeur.rice Général.e (Président.e & PDG), avec une prise de fonction prévue en janvier 2025 ou peu après.

Sous la direction du Conseil d’administration, le.la Président.e-Directeur.rice Général.e (Président.e & PDG) jouera un rôle déterminant dans l’élaboration, la mise en œuvre et l’exécution des plans stratégiques à long terme et des plans annuels de l’organisation. Ceux-ci visent à renforcer les programmes actuels, à façonner une stratégie de plaidoyer axée sur l’engagement des jeunes et à exploiter les forces organisationnelles existantes afin de consolider la portée nationale et l’impact de Jack.org. En collaboration avec une équipe de direction exécutive et un personnel dévoué, le.la Président.e-Directeur.rice Général.e (Président.e & PDG) supervisera l’ensemble des activités de Jack.org. Cela inclut la conception et la mise en œuvre des programmes, la mobilisation de fonds, les activités de sensibilisation du public, les relations avec les partenaires publics et privés, ainsi que la gestion des finances et des risques, tout en apportant son soutien au Conseil d’administration. Une composante essentielle de ce poste consiste à diriger activement les efforts de mobilisation de fonds de Jack.org. Il s’agit notamment de gérer un portefeuille actif de grand.e.s donateur.rice.s, d’identifier de nouvelles sources de financement durables provenant de partenaires externes (les entités gouvernementales, les entreprises privées et les fondations familiales) et de garantir la constance de ces flux de revenus diversifiés.

Le.la candidate idéal.e est un.e leader reconnu.e, tenu.e en haute estime, respecté.e et expérimenté.e, ayant occupé des postes de direction d’importance croissante dans des organisations de taille et de complexité similaires. Une expérience préalable à un poste de PDG, ainsi qu’une expérience acquise au sein d’une organisation à but non lucratif ou de bienfaisance enregistrée, en particulier dans le domaine de la santé mentale des jeunes, sont des atouts.

Votre parcours professionnel démontre une solide expertise en gestion financière, en acquisition et fidélisation des donateur.rice.s, en relations communautaires et gouvernementales, en gestion du changement, ainsi qu’en gouvernance et stratégie organisationnelle. En tant que dirigeant.e, vous savez mobiliser des équipes performantes, orientées vers la mission et les résultats et vous possédez les compétences nécessaires pour instaurer

une culture qui valorise l’innovation, la transparence et la confiance comme principes fondamentaux. Vous avez démontré des compétences dans l’accompagnement et le développement de jeunes talents, ainsi qu’une capacité à motiver la prochaine génération de leaders. Vos compétences en communication sont excellentes et vous êtes à l’aise avec la prise de parole en public. Dans un contexte d’organisation nationale, la maîtrise de l’anglais est requise et le bilinguisme en français et en anglais est fortement souhaité.

Vos compétences exécutives sont bien développées et incluent une solide maîtrise des finances et des budgets, une bonne compréhension des meilleures pratiques en matière de gouvernance, ainsi qu’une capacité éprouvée à mener des transformations organisationnelles, tout en préservant une approche holistique. Vous avez également des compétences avérées en résolution de conflits et vous avez déjà aidé des organisations à naviguer à travers des périodes de changement et à relever des défis complexes. Une connaissance approfondie des enjeux liés à la santé mentale des jeunes est nécessaire pour ce rôle.
En tant que principal porte-parole de Jack.org, le.la Président.e-Directeur.rice Général.e (Président.e & PDG) doit être une personne engageante, capable de construire et de renforcer une culture de confiance et de crédibilité, tant à l’intérieur de l’organisation — auprès de l’équipe de direction, des employé.e.s et du conseil d’administration — qu’à l’extérieur, avec le réseau de jeunes, les donateur.rice.s, les partenaires financiers et communautaires, ainsi que les ambassadeurs jeunesse à travers le Canada. Le.la Président.e-Directeur.rice Général.e (Président.e & PDG) doit être un.e champion.ne actif.ve de l’équité, de la diversité, de l’inclusion, de l’accessibilité, de la réconciliation et de l’autochtonisation.
