Access Pro Bono is recruiting for its volunteer Board of Directors!

About APB

• APB’s mission is to improve the justice system in BC by providing access to free or affordable legal services.
• The vast majority of people in BC are unable to obtain the help they need to resolve their legal issues. By providing access to free or affordable legal services, we empower people to address their legal issues with confidence and dignity, and contribute to a more just and stable society.

Responsibilities

• Directors are expected to attend bimonthly board meetings and committee meetings (by Zoom), help to provide organizational leadership and financial oversight to the organization, participate in events, and engage in community outreach.

Time Commitment

• Approximately four to six hours per month.

Term

• Two years, potentially renewable for a maximum of three terms (six years total).

Who We’re Looking For

• APB is committed to building and sustaining an inclusive and diverse organization, representative of the public we serve. We strongly encourage expressions of interest from all qualified applicants. Applicants from traditionally underrepresented or marginalized groups including Indigenous people, people of colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities are encouraged to self-identify in their cover letter or expression of interest if they feel comfortable doing so.
• APB uses a competency matrix to guide board recruitment and succession planning. A copy is included in this document.
• APB is particularly interested in applicants who live outside the lower mainland and South Island.

How to Apply

• Please email a resume and brief cover letter or expression of interest to Erin Monahan (she/her), APB Director of Projects & Operations, at emonahan@accessprobono.ca by August 4, 2026.
