  • Assist with transporting and lifting supplies such as sewing machines, program materials, and cases of water
  • May include picking up pre-paid grocery or supply orders for youth programming activities
  • Support a welcoming environment grounded in Indigenous community values, relational care, and wellness
  • Assist with community-based research and knowledge-sharing activities connected to Indigenous youth wellness initiatives
  • Support organizational and administrative tasks related to grant-funded projects and community programming
  • May participate with the wider team on community-based wellness, research, knowledge-sharing, and grant-related initiatives
  • May assist with research-related activities such as preparing materials, organizing supplies, supporting community engagement events, and contributing to knowledge mobilization activities
  • Additional duties may be assigned based on program and community needs

  • Ability to perform light-to-moderate lifting
  • Ability to work within a flexible schedule based on program needs
  • Strong relationship-building skills and willingness to support youth in a mentorship role
