Meet The Board

An Awesome Group of Volunteers

The Board of Directors

Meet the Board of Directors, who volunteer their time and talents to fulfill the vision of helping children around the world. The Julia Project Foundation would not be complete without them. They bring a wealth of wisdom and knowledge to the table when we meet.

Their varied backgrounds in the business world, most as parents themselves, all with brilliant wit and humor and a strong sense of compassion and justice, keep us inspired and moving forward in our vision.

Jill Carty, Founder of The Julia Project Foundation

Jill Carty President/Founder

In 2007, Jill finally stepped out to explore what was in her heart from a child - to meet and help children in Africa.

After her first trip to Kenya, with her husband Jim, she returned home to Canada with that compassion burning even stronger. Inspired by her, at the time five year old friend Julia, the wheels were set in motion, and the charity had it's humble beginnings.

Jill is a child at heart, who loves people, always enjoys a good laugh, and is dedicated to helping others become the best they can be. The Julia Project has become one of her passions and she's never looked back.

Adam Shebib, Vice President of Canadian children's charity,The Julia Project Foundation.

Adam Shebib, Vice President/Treasurer

Adam has four beautiful children with his wife Sara and loves spending time in the great outdoors. He loves being a Canadian and feels privileged to live in this amazing country, but also hopes to one day travel with his family to some of the places The Julia Project has affected.

Adam is honored to be able to help children in need and considers himself fortunate to both work with, and be a part of, The Julia Project. He is excited to see what the future holds for this organization.

Cheryl Armstrong, Secretary of our Canadian charity, The Julia Project Foundation.

Cheryl Armstrong, Secretary

Cheryl is a respected wife, mother, and grandmother. She is one of quiet strength with a strong sense of justice and love of missions, and works hard to see that compassion is extended to the less fortunate in society.

Cheryl enjoys renovating and decorating in her spare time.

She is optimistic of her involvement with the Julia Project and is a firm believer that one person can, in fact, make a difference.

Emily St. Pierre, Board Member Director, The Julia Project Foundation.

Emily St. Pierre, Director

Emily is the second oldest of four siblings and having grown up the daughter of two incredible children's pastors, her experience and love of children have, without a doubt, come naturally. Her heart continues to grow towards working with children in the future, and she dreams of one day going to Africa herself.

She also confesses to never wanting to grow up and believes she will always have an uncanny obsession with juice boxes.

Emily's heart is to see children in unfortunate situations and circumstances helped and brought to a better place.

Meet The Board Advisory Team

Our organization wouldn't be what it is today without the endless hours of hard work, suggestions, guidance, wisdom and prayers, that our Advisory Board volunteers bring to The Julia Project.

Jim Carty, Advisory Board Member of children's charity, The Julia Project Foundation

Jim Carty, Our very own 'MacGyver'

Jim, Jill's husband, enjoys all things outdoors and adventurous. He's a natural on the mission field, which lines up with his love of travel and heart for children.

A dedicated father to their two children, and a loving husband, he supports Jill in her vision and shares her compassion for helping those who can't help themselves.

Don Bell, Advisory Board Member to children's charity, The Julia Project Foundation.

Donald Bell, Web and Life Support!

Don has coached Jill and advised her through the entire building process of our website. He is an always available go-to friend, advisor, 'pray er', and encourager to Jill and Jim.

Not one to be in the limelight, Don is an invaluable quiet strength behind the scenes of The Julia Project.

Sara Shebib, Public Relations Co ordinator

Sara works tirelessly for The Julia Project in many aspects, but we give her official recognition for her efforts handling press materials for media connections announcing events, tickets and guest passes for event registrations, and as our go-to person for journalists covering stories about our work. Her warm smile and engaging personality make her a natural for the job!
