I have had a great experience with MatchBoard, and I am happy that I was able to be part of this program through Manulife. It’s made a huge difference in my professional life and has helped me gain leadership skills. It has made me feel more of a part of the community than I ever had before.

I saw it as an opportunity to give back to my community. It also meant developing my leadership and strategic capabilities while working on causes that I am passionate about.

Aoife

I was partnered with Don McDermott from Capacity Canada. He understood both my personal and volunteer experience and took into consideration my passion. We had several discussions surrounding my area of interest.

Elena 

I had been considering different nonprofit boards, and I knew where my interest was and what expertise I could lend to the board. But I needed to make those connections to get there.

Board-Ready From Day One

Participants will receive governance guidance from our expert Executive-in-Residences (EIR) either online or in person. Corporations have the option to add ModernBoard governance training with hand-picked resources, like expert-led video modules, to help employees fully understand a board member’s roles and responsibilities. 

Additionally, every corporate partner is matched with a dedicated EIR to help guide strategy, ensure alignment, and impact in joining the right non-profit. 

Personalized Experience

Each employee is matched with an Executive-in-Residence (EIR) to understand their individual goals, current and desired skills – and explore their unique community interests and passions.

In these one-on-one meeting with your dedicated EIR, we will explore:

  • current skills
  • develop goals
  • express community interest

We manage onboarding and board placements as well as governance training. This means both the employee and the non-profit have a smooth successful experience. Our support doesn’t stop there!  Six months after placement, we offer follow-ups and a chance to connect through satisfaction surveys.
