BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Chairperson
Vedanshi
I believe in working together to create safer communities, in empowering individuals, and in standing with survivors. I believe in changing culture, and addressing stigma existing in society, preventing progress. It is my hope that our team's work will contribute to a safer community for all, especially for women.
Secretary
Brina
I believe it is not only important to be educated on the dangers that individuals around the globe are facing, but also to be aware of certain stigma that exists in our society. BOLT Safety’s project to take action to help with women’s safety and the safety of other individuals is an absolutely necessary contribution to our global community. I hope create a safer environment for all of us with this amazing team.
Treasurer
Ravi
When I was first introduced to BOLT, I was amazed; I couldn't believe that Vancouver youth were making such a huge impact all by themselves. I was really interested, and as I learned more I decided to join the team. Now that I'm part of this group, I can't wait to help promote women's safety, as many people are unaware of this issue.

Operations Director
Shreyanshi
It is my opinion that everyone should feel safe wherever they are. Provided statistics show us that women and children are more likely to have to face some sort of abuse over others. After joining the BOLT team, I have had the pleasure of seeing how youth have the power to act in and change this world. I look forward to seeing our call come to action!

Financial Director
Victor
All individuals have the right to feel safe. Unfortunately, the reality for many is that safety is too often a luxury, especially for women. As such, I believe it is incredibly important to bring attention to this need for safer communities, and to work towards ensuring safety is accessible to all. Along with the incredible BOLT Safety team, I hope to make a lasting contribution towards this endeavor!
MANAGEMENT TEAM
Manager, Safe Hubs
Emily
I wish to be a ripple that lives out love for those around me to receive, that they might go on and touch lives around them as well. My hope is to affirm for those in joy and in pain that we are not islands, and that our burden is not to find ourselves deserving of anything but to give freely and therefore to freely receive.
Manager, Project LyghtNyng
Hrishitha
I believe that safety is something that should be accessible to everyone in society. So when I came across BOLT Safety, I knew this was the organization I wanted to work with. This organization works towards a safer world for everyone and that's a message I believe in delivering to the world. I hope I can play a small part in ensuring that the organization's goals are achieved.
Manager, Human Resources
Olivia
I believe that all individuals should have the right to feel and be safe. Being part of the BOLT Safety community directly addresses the problem of security by empowering others and connecting with survivors. It's truly a blessing to be part of a group whose work is dedicated towards contributing to a better and safer community.
Manager, Digital Platform
Sarah
Creating safe spaces for all individuals, where they can freely express themselves, is essential for communities to flourish and thrive. I am excited to work with BOLT Safety to accomplish this vision and help empower those in need.
