New Majority is hiring Community Organizers to help run our youth civic education projects this summer in communities across the country, and you might be the perfect fit!

As a Community Organizer, you’ll work closely with our experienced team to pilot innovative new approaches to engage youth in Canada’s democracy. You’ll develop strong digital and in-person facilitation skills and learn the ins and outs of volunteer and program participant recruitment, administration and management. Best of all, each Community Organizer will get the opportunity to design and run one fun and exciting activation to engage the young people in their community, drawing on past New Majority events such as Dogs for Democracy or Democracy & Dragons.
As part of planning and implementing this activation, you should expect to take on a number of different tasks throughout the summer, including:
- Administration: assist with program scheduling, event planning and execution, and non-profit management; answer volunteer and participant emails; track outreach efforts and workshop participation in spreadsheets

Community Organizers are required to report to their shifts in a timely manner, communicate clearly with their manager, and maintain mutual respect with their manager and coworkers. They sometimes work independently with the support of their manager, or as part of the team with other Community Organizers working towards similar goals and executing similar tasks as set by their manager.
Who we’re looking for
- Someone with strong communication and people skills
- Someone organized and self-motivated
- Someone who sees value in building up youth voices in their community

New Majority will support someone adaptable with transferable skills who is people-oriented and interested in making a difference to help them succeed in this role.
