What We’re Looking For
The Climate Reality Project Canada is looking to enhance its community engagement programming in 4 key regions: Eastern Canada, Northern Canada, the Prairies, and Québec (outside of Montreal). To achieve this, 4 new Regional Engagement Coordinators will ensure an on-the-grounds presence in each of these regions, in order to offer their expertise and support to Lead Mentors & Climate Reality Leaders, as well as our Regional Organizers and the Hub members. Thanks to these 4 regional representatives who are intimately familiar with the local context and are connected to a regional network of stakeholders in community and climate advocacy, CRPC hopes to build meaningful, long-lasting relationships and partnerships with key partners in each region, recruit more participants to Leadership Corps trainings, continuously support CRLs in performing and reporting AOLs, as well as empowering local advocacy through our CCH program. Importantly, the Regional Engagement Coordinators will ensure effective collaboration between the various programs of CRPC, notably the Leadership Corps, Campus Corps and Community Climate Hub initiatives, and will also build bridges between these programs and relevant organizations and programs in the region.

In addition to being strategic and systems thinkers, the Regional Engagement Coordinators are people who pay close attention to detail and deadlines, love to tackle challenges, and are enthusiastic about implementing programs and contributing to the creation of new ones.
