Join the Board of Directors at QPIRG Concordia!
** The QPIRG board is comprised of twelve members, with six spots reserved for Concordia students (undergrad or graduate) and six for community members. Being a member of the board means attending monthly board meetings, joining one or more board committees, and taking on additional tasks as necessary throughout the year.
The board requires a time commitment that varies (depending largely on the time of year), but generally consists of an average of between 5 to 10 hours per month of board work. The board term runs from October 2019 – September 2020. Please get in touch for more details: info@qpirgconcordia.org. The board will be elected at our AGM on October 8th.
QPIRG Concordia is a social justice centre that aims to connect the campus to grassroots community struggles. We support over 20 activist groups working on issues including migrant justice, LGBTQIA2S+ issues, prison justice, disability and accessibility, anti-facism and more! We host popular education events, including an alternative orientation series in September, an anti-colonial series in November, ASL 101 courses and an extension of Black History Month. We have a lending library with hundreds of radical titles (alternativelibraries.org). We publish an annual agenda and resource guide called School Schmool and Convergence, a community based research journal. We offer monthly discretionary project funding, up to $700. We also have a lounge area with computers and offer free black & white printing.
