enCompass is recruiting visionary Board Members to strengthen community safety in Edmonton

Who We Are

Since 1949, enCompass has supported individuals to overcome barriers that contribute to justice involvement and social disorder. We provide court and justice navigation, crisis response, safety planning, housing supports, employment and education transitions, counselling, and culturally responsive services. We build safe and inclusive communities by helping individuals navigate change and lead healthy, meaningful lives.

What We Are Looking For:

We are seeking new voices to join the enCompass Board to guide our work and inspire transformation in the sector and community safety space. enCompass recently embarked on a new strategic direction and is actively seeking Board members with governance expertise who can advance the agency’s purpose and the strategic and governance functions that support it.

We invite applications from leaders with experience in one or more of the following areas:

  • Governance and strategic leadership
  • Finance
  • Fund development or community/government relations
  • Law, justice or public policy

We especially welcome applicants who reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.

What You’ll Do:

As a Board Director, you will:

  • Provide strategic oversight and sound governance
  • Champion community safety and social impact
  • Support organizational growth and sustainability
  • Serve as an ambassador for enCompass and its mission
  • Contribute your expertise to help guide the agency’s future direction

What You Can Expect:

You’ll join a committed, professional, and forward-thinking Board that values thoughtful dialogue, collaborative decision-making, learning, and meaningful community impact.

You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape the next era of enCompass — as we strengthen services, expand partnerships, and advance community safety for all.
