As a non-profit board member responsibilities can include
strategic plan, oversee management, maintain society

& work towards society mandate.
Merritt Youth & Family Resources Society is an agency that has been registered
under the Societies Act since 1978. The Society currently administers an
array of programs which include child care (infants, toddlers & school age),
special needs, youth support, workshops and more. MYFRS Board of
Directors is comprised of volunteers from the Nicola Valley. For over forty
years the agency has relied on willing and able volunteers to help us carry
out our mandate. Can you contribute some of your time to this valuable
endeavour? We believe that your presence would be highly beneficial to
the children, youth and families of the Nicola Valley.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the overall management of the
Society’s business. The Board of Director positions are one-year terms and
re-elected at the Annual General Meeting that is held in September.
The Board generally meets ten times per year and occasionally
has special meetings; with Aug and December off. If you are interested in
becoming a Society Director, please confirm that your membership has been
in place for at least 30 days which is a requirement of the Society Act.
If you are interested; feel free to contact our office at 2199 Coutlee Avenue.
Thank you for considering our request and your interest in the Society!
