Treasurer

Would you like to help make a difference in your community and around the world?  CISV is an international, volunteer-run organization that educates youth and inspires action for a more just and peaceful world.  The local Board of CISV Vancouver is looking for a new Treasurer and you might be interested!

The duties of the Treasurer require attendance at the monthly chapter Board meetings, maintaining the financial records, making deposits, paying bills (average 4/month), preparing charitable receipts (average 20/year), a budget, the annual return for CRA, the bi-annual GST filing and providing monthly status reports.  Responsibilities take about two hours a week, plus the monthly meetings and there are some busier times when we are hosting a camp here in Vancouver and at the year-end. The position is a 2-year term, which can be renewed.

Founded in 1951, CISV is a global, volunteer-run, non-political, charitable organization, which
promotes peace education and cross-cultural friendship. The organization was founded on the premise that by bringing young people of different cultures together to learn and make friends, they would become global citizens that are educated and inspired to take action for a more just and peaceful world.  Doris Allen, who formed CISV, went on to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her work with the organization.  CISV is affiliated with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
