Green Action Centre seeks Executive Director

Green Action Centre is a non-profit, non-government hub for sustainable solutions based in Winnipeg but serving all of Manitoba. We are a registered charity governed by an elected community board, with a committed, resourceful, and collaborative staff. We promote greener living through environmental education and encourage practical green solutions for communities, homeowners, workplaces and schools.

A pioneer in sustainable living, green commuting, composting, waste reduction, and energy policy in Manitoba, you may have met us as Resource Conservation Manitoba (before we changed our name in September 2010). We facilitate change, supported by donations from individuals, fees for service, grants from foundations and governments, as well as sponsorships.

Our Executive Director is an authentic leader – dedicated and passionate towards ensuring a supportive, non-hierarchical and dynamic workplace along with effective community leadership. Having an open-minded, team-based approach, our engaged Executive Director works with staff, the Board, members, volunteers and the public to continuously build an imaginative, inclusive, and forward-thinking organization.

Our Executive Director mirrors the environmental caring of our members. Our organization walks the talk of ecological sustainability and social justice and, through outreach to the community, advocates the shared values needed to help move society towards sustainability. Persistent, creative, and diverse programming and fund-raising strategies that reflect our commitment to honesty and integrity are pivotal to the success of Green Action Centre.
