Community Literacy of Ontario will be conducting a salary survey in Spring 1999. Through this, we will gather and share salary and staffing information in community-based literacy agencies.
Build your case by gathering the facts! A recent 1998 Salaries and Benefits survey of senior managers and executive directors of charities and non-profit organizations in British Columbia, conducted for Volunteer Vancouver, found their average annual salaries ranging between $37,800 and $46,100, depending on level of responsibility. Administrative assistants/ clerical staff averaged $25,600 per annum. To order the full report or read the summary, check the Volunteer Vancouver website at www.vancouver.volunteer.ca.
This sample framework comes from the Community Literacy Administrator’s Survival Kit, by Vicki Smith-Danilyw.
