Help guide Muskoka Victim Services.

Are you interested in giving back to the community and helping people who have experienced the impact of crime or tragic circumstance? The Board is a group of community-minded volunteers who guide, support and work in partnership with the Executive Director to provide confidential, respectful, knowledgeable and compassionate support to people at a time of crisis in their lives.

If you have lived experience or skills that can strengthen the Board of Directors, you can help.

The Board oversees the financial health of MVS, ensures the Executive Director fulfills the role according to the Executive Limitations, and makes sure MVS meets the funding and contractual requirements of its funder, the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.
