CAF CANADA Regional Coordinator
Top Benefits
About the role
Coordinate Head Representatives across one of CAFCAN's 5 regional blocks. Bridge regional priorities to the federation's strategic agenda.
Time
~8 hours per month on average.
Term
2 years, renewable once.
Compensation
Volunteer role with an annual honorarium-style activity budget (CAFCAN-managed) for regional events, travel and team-building.
What you get
Senior CAFCAN credential — Regional Coordinator title with public profile page. Voting seat at the Annual General Assembly + agenda input. Annual regional activity budget you control (events, training, recognition). Free executive-level training: governance, conflict resolution, sport leadership. Full branded leadership kit (jacket, polo, formal wear allowance for AGM). All travel + accommodation covered for AGM and federation-wide meetings. Strong reference + visibility for board-level opportunities inside CAFCAN. Direct working relationship with the Executive — your priorities shape strategy.
Core duties
Chair a quarterly call with every Head Rep in your region. Consolidate monthly updates from your nations into a single regional brief for the General Secretary. Propose at least one cross-nation initiative per year (festival, joint training camp, scholarship pool). Mediate inter-nation disputes within the region before escalating to the Disciplinary Committee.
Growth & recruitment
Grow the region together — actively recruit National Representatives for any nation in your region that doesn't yet have one, and recommend candidates to the General Secretary. Set and own a regional growth target each year (new National Reps + new Deputies + cross-nation member growth), ratified by the General Secretary. Identify and nurture future Head Reps among Deputies and other active members — your region's pipeline is your responsibility. Build cross-nation pipelines: when a nation in your region is over-resourced and another under-resourced, broker introductions and shared activations. Track each nation's recruitment performance monthly, celebrate wins, and surface blockers to the General Secretary. Champion ethical, inclusive recruitment across the region — Pan-African, Continental and Allied applicants are welcomed and routed to the right seat.
Responsibilities
Hold full safeguarding and code-of-conduct posture. Be impartial across your region's nations — no favoritism. Attend the annual General Assembly in person or by video. Own the region's representation completeness — no nation should sit empty without an active recruitment plan.
Requirements
Hold an active CAFCAN Member Number. Demonstrate at least 3 years of community organising or coaching experience inside the region you'd represent. Lived knowledge of the region's African-Canadian communities — their cultures, norms, languages and history. Strong existing relationships across multiple nations in the region. Reside IN Canada (or commit to relocating before the term begins). Hold a valid status that legally permits you to volunteer/work in Canada (citizen, permanent resident, or eligible work permit). Be 18+.
