Governance
The Youth Centre is a not-for-profit, charitable organization that is governed by a Board of Directors. There are up to 15 members on our Board of Directors with two of those positions being held by youth between the ages of 18 and 25. The Board meets once each month at 7:00 p.m. on the last Tuesday of the month. The role and responsibility of the Board include seven major activities:
- Establishing and maintaining the Mission, Vision, Values and Principles of The Youth Centre;
- Long-range planning and the future direction of the organization;
- Managing the Executive Director;
- Resource management which includes attracting resources to The Youth Centre and ensuring their effective use;
- Community relations to ensure that The Youth Centre is integrated with and responsive to its various communities;
- Program evaluation;
- On-going Board development through board governance policies and procedures, active recruitment, self-evaluation and educational functions.

We have four standing committees of the Board and each member is required to sit on a least one committee. The four committees are:
Executive Committee
