The Wolf Cooper Foundation is hiring a full-time Selections & Programming Coordinator to support the delivery of Canada’s most immersive undergraduate scholarship program for future leaders. Visit www.wolfscholars.com for more details.

The Opportunity

The Selections & Programming Coordinator role is a unique opportunity in Canada. The Wolf Cooper Foundation is building a scholarship program like no other. By joining our team, you will contribute to an impactful mission, you will learn from mentors and experienced social impact and business leaders, and you will play a direct role in supporting Wolf Scholars as they grow and thrive.

Each year, the Wolf Scholars Program selects 16 exceptional incoming undergraduates across the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts & Science to form a tight-knit cohort. Over four years, Scholars will engage in an enrichment program designed to sharpen their critical thinking skills, foster their intellectual curiosity across disciplines, and prepare them to tackle the challenges facing their generation. Our first cohort of Scholars is starting at the University of Toronto this fall, and we can’t wait to welcome them to campus.

Wolf Scholars will receive a full academic scholarship, participate annually in a small-group academic seminar at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, travel domestically and internationally, learn from valuable internships and career training, and participate in a leadership development curriculum that will stay with them for life.

Wolf Scholars is a launchpad inspired by renowned liberal arts programs worldwide. We're building a future where a student’s curiosity, character and ambition - not only their degree - enables them to drive impact across sectors.

We are seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented, ambitious and mission-driven individual to support both the scholar selection cycle and the delivery of high-quality programming for scholars throughout their undergraduate experience. This is a primarily operational role, focused on coordination, execution, and delivering an excellent stakeholder experience, in close collaboration with a passionate team.
