p>A4K is recruiting for a dynamic, passionate, experienced Executive Director to successfully lead our small but impactful charity through a period of significant growth and into the future.Description

About A4K

At Athletics4Kids we believe that every child should have the chance to play. Across BC, hundreds of children and youth are denied the opportunity to participate in amateur sports due to one simple fact: lack of funds. Through our Sport4Life Grant Program, we ensure that kids between the ages of 5-18 can play and participate in sports. Whether that's swimming lessons at the rec center, community lacrosse, or joining a gymnastics club, we provide financial assistance to help low-income families cover registration fees for over 55 non-school-based amateur sports.
