Program and Role

Description:

The Career Foundation’s Youth Thrive program operates both regionally and nationally, offering youth a variety of activities such as professional skills workshops, a virtual retreat, and volunteer placements. These opportunities help youth participants gain valuable skills and experiences, engage in important community projects, and promote civic engagement and social inclusion. Our national Youth Thrive program is available to youth aged 16 to 30 living in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, or Nova Scotia, while our regional Youth Thrive program serves eligible youth living in Ontario.

Both programs particularly focus on youth who identify as Indigenous or are underserved from equity-deserving groups.

As an Outreach Worker/Facilitator with our national Youth Thrive program based in Edmonton

You will work directly with Indigenous and underserved youth participants by delivering life and volunteer readiness workshops, as well as providing individual and group-based coaching. These efforts will help participants understand the expectations and requirements of non-profit workplaces, preparing them for success in their volunteer placements.

You will have targets to achieve that contribute to the team’s collective ability to meet all contractual obligations with the program’s funder.
