We’re hiring two Community Liaison Workers to join our small‑but‑mighty team this summer!
These positions offer a mix of hands-on community engagement and practical administrative support, and are ideal for students interested in non-profit work, community development, administration, marketing and/or communications.
This opportunity is funded through the federal government’s Canada Summer Job (CSJ) program.
We’re looking for a proactive self-starter who’s highly organized and great at managing time. You’re an excellent communicator—both in writing and in conversation—and you bring a positive, can-do attitude to everything you do. You enjoy working as part of a team but are equally comfortable taking initiative and working independently. You’re tech-savvy, friendly, and people-oriented. Experience with administrative tasks, event planning, communications, or social media is a definite bonus, but not required. Most importantly, you’re excited about community and eager to make a difference!
