Board of Directors (Volunteer Role)
/Organization:
Green Thumb Theatre
Deadline:
Apr. 30, 2025
Organization Description:
Green Thumb Theatre is a force within the field of theatre for young audiences, not only in British Columbia but across the country and throughout the world. Green Thumb Theatre creates, produces, and tours plays that explore social issues relevant to the lives of children, youth, and young adults. We provide theatre that celebrates the language and stories of today’s generation and culture to stimulate empathy, debate, and critical thinking.
Green Thumb's offices are located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. As a touring company, Green Thumb Theatre’s work often takes place throughout the traditional homelands of most of the Indigenous Nations and cultures across British Columbia and beyond.

Volunteer Opportunity Description:
Join our group of diverse, fun and interesting individuals who are passionately convinced of the importance and benefits of relevant, contemporary theatre for young people!
We are a governance Board, overseeing the policies, procedures, and financial well-being of Green Thumb Theatre. The Board is largely composed of individuals who work in the arts, education and social services, or businesses and corporations - but we welcome volunteers from any sector who share our enthusiasm.
Responsibilities:
- The board has approximately 9 meetings annually, most of which are conducted online, with some in-person events, where the business meeting is followed by a meal and social exchange. Additionally, in-person attendance is expected at Green Thumb’s Annual General
- Board members are requested not to miss more than 2 consecutive meetings in a year.
- Each board member should be prepared to volunteer for committee work, which might entail a handful of extra virtual meetings per year; committees are formed on an ad-hoc basis as required by the needs and growth of the organization.
- Board members are encouraged to attend at least 2 Green Thumb performances per year, and we try to provide opportunities (outside of work hours) for board members to do this.
- Within the limits of their ability and their comfort zone, board members are expected to make a personally significant financial donation to the organization on an annual basis. Setting up a monthly donation to Green Thumb is encouraged, and is easily arranged through Canada Helps at www.canadahelps.org
