About Kids Included

Families with children living with disabilities have been finding Kids Included’s services for over 40 years to learn how to advocate for a life of inclusiveness. All children, including those with disabilities and/or needing extra support, have a right to learn and grow in supportive, inclusive settings. Kids Included uses evidence-based practices and supportive coaching to build on the skills, knowledge, and confidence of families, caregivers, and early childhood educators so they can better support the wellbeing, inclusion, and meaningful participation of all children in everyday settings and routines.

Serving on the Board

As an engaged member of the Kids Included board, your skills, experience, networks, and insights can build a more inclusive future for Kids Included children. The Board is searching for directors with previous board governance experience and strong business/community connections who have skills in government relations and legal matters. Diversifying the board's perspectives is a priority for excellence in decision-making. Welcoming applications from individuals who bring a variety of backgrounds and experiences, particularly those with a deep understanding of the challenges and successes faced by the children and families Kids Included serves, advances its governance.

The board meets eight times in the early evening from September to June and board members serve 3-year terms (maximum of 2 terms). New board members will be voted in at the Kids Included AGM on November 20, 2025.

If you are discovering a description of yourself in our search parameters, please send a short cover letter and resume outlining relevant experience to manishrawal@kidsincluded.ca, to the attention of the Board Chair, by September 23, 2025.
