Forwarding some information: Hi there! Just wanted to reach out to pass along that ECOLE has now launched our facilitator recruitment for the upcoming academic year! Facilitators are a group of McGill students who live collectively at the ECOLE house while working on activism/community organizing/experiential research projects related to material sustainability and social justice/anti-oppression. If you think it could be of interest to people in your networks, we would be thrilled if you would be interested in sharing it (but also very much no pressure!). All our info is listed at https://www.ecoleproject.com/recruitment and in our Facebook event, here: https://www.facebook.com/events/479743753366512/. Thanks so much, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions for us!

Forwarding a Job Opportunity PAQ is urgently looking for a temporary Coordinator for its Life Skills and Confidence Building program. The program had to shut down suddenly with the loss of our Coordinator and participants are feeling incredibly disappointed. PAQ hopes to find someone quickly to fill this role. Details: The program is planned, participants are ready, most workshops are booked with external facilitators. The Coordinator facilitates about 50% of the worksh...ops, but coordinates with external facilitators for the other half. The Coordinator is a constant presence for the participants, helping to build a group dynamic and trust. Program runs Mon to Friday 9am to 1pm with lunch starting now for 10 weeks; so this could be a part time (minimum 25 hours per week) or full time contract total flexibility Coordinator is ideally someone with a teaching/facilitating or intervention background Must be Indigenous, or deep-rooted knowledge of Indigenous culture, learning approaches, and world view.
