Job details

The Toronto Local Charity (TLC) helps young people aged 16 to 29 across the GTA break the cycle of poverty, by changing how they see themselves and what they believe is possible. Built by people with lived experience and powered almost entirely by volunteers, TLC has reached the point where demand for our programs is outpacing what volunteers alone can deliver. Our 2026–2028 strategic plan sets a clear direction: fund a paid Executive Director role. Fund development is the biggest gap standing between us and that goal.
