Casual Program Facilitator - Youth in Transition Program

CHIMO: Where What You Do Matters for A Lifetime.

Can you hold a room, make people feel welcome, and help with a housing application at the drop-in help desk, all in the same afternoon?

Leaving care at 18 often means facing rent, jobs, bills and loneliness all at once. Chimo's new Youth in Transition (YIT) Program is a place young adults aged 18 to 24 can come for the skills, information and people that make it easier. We're looking for Program Facilitators to make it a place they want to come back to.

Think of the program as a weekly menu of drop-in sessions: a hands-on housing application walkthrough, an honest conversation about substance use and harm reduction, a workshop on healthy relationships and boundaries, practice job interviews, a tax clinic, a ribbon skirt circle. There's food at every session and a help desk six days a week. We open in December.

FT and Casual Includes some evenings and some Saturdays

What you'll do

• Plan and lead group sessions young adults actually want to come to
• Welcome people at the door, share food, and check in
• Staff the help desk: forms, phone calls, applications, next steps
• Become the team's Champion in one area: housing, employment and education, financial literacy, health and wellness, or culture and identity

What you bring

• A diploma or degree in Child and Youth Care, Social Work, or a related human services field
• At least a year of leading groups, workshops or programs with youth or young adults
• Warmth, steadiness, and a sense of humour
• Lived experience of care or of the transition to adulthood? That's an asset here.

Good to know: You'll need clear Intervention Record and Police Information (Vulnerable Sector) checks. We provide the training you'll need before you start working with young adults. Driving is an asset, not a requirement.

Job opening remains until suitable applicant is found.
