Girls Inc. of Upper Canada is a charitable organization that provides girls with trusting, mentoring relationships and evidence-based, hands-on programming in a pro-girl environment. We believe in girls' innate ability and, through compensatory programming, healthy risk-taking, and sustained exposure, we encourage them to trust their intuition. Our intentional programming is strengths-based and prevention-focused, and equips girls to overcome barriers to grow up strong, smart, and bold. We support girls in reaching their full potential while advocating with and for them to end inequity and discrimination. Girls Inc. welcomes all girls aged 6-18, including youth who are a part of the 2SLGBTQ+ community and/or are exploring their gender identity during their time at Girls Inc.

Facilitators will be supported and guided by permanent Girls Inc. staff and Summer Program Coordinators. This position offers hands-on experience in youth program delivery, with an emphasis on facilitating gender-specific programming through an intersectional feminist lens. The Summer Program Facilitator plays an important role in modelling positive relationships, confidence, and care while supporting girls to explore, learn, and have fun.

This position will be funded through Canada Summer Jobs. Applicants must be 15-30 years of age and be legally entitled to work in Canada.
