Board Member Recruitment Call-Out
**Positions Available:**Three new board members
**Start Date:**May 26, 2026
**Application Deadline:**April 15, 2026
Climate action depends on informed public understanding, but misinformation is making that harder every day. The Greenpeace Canada Education Fund (GCEF) exists to change that, and we’re seeking new board members to help strengthen our reach, credibility, and impact across Canada.
Our Mission:
The Greenpeace Canada Education Fund (GCEF), launched in 2020, focuses on bridging the knowledge gap on environmental, climate, and energy issues in Canada and globally. Through research and education, we empower the public with the information needed to combat disinformation and push for meaningful climate action. Guided by values of democracy, inclusivity, and environmental justice, we work to address historical imbalances and drive systems change.
GCEF complements the work of Greenpeace Canada, the well-known organization that has been taking action to protect the planet since 1971. GCEF is part of the global Greenpeace campaigning network maintaining general consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
Our Values:
1.Guided by justice: We prioritize the needs of marginalized communities and those most impacted by climate change.
2.Operate with integrity: We ground our research in science, traditional knowledge, rigorous analysis, and intellectual honesty.
3.Work in collaboration: We focus on relationship-building, knowledge-sharing, transparency and trust in our partnerships.
4.Empower human networks: We believe that knowledge is power, and we equip individuals and communities with accessible information to enable effective outcomes.
Backgrounds of High Interest:
The GCEF Board currently has four members with expertise in strategic planning, fundraising, financial oversight, policy, and advocacy. We are looking to expand our board to incorporate a broader range of backgrounds and to ensure better regional representation across Canada, as the current board is predominantly Ontario-based.

- Government relations
- Education delivery and workshop facilitation
- Fluency in French

- Five videoconference committee meetings (1 hour per meeting)
