The New Mentality is currently seeking an Event Coordinator.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
Apply for this job if you’re a student who just finished one year of school and preparing for another year (this is a requirement of the funding for this position). You most likely are studying child and youth work, community work, social work or a related field. You love community mobilization and facilitating groups.
Because this role is within Children’s Mental Health Ontario’s New Mentality Program, you are excited to learn more about and contribute to strengthening mental health services for youth across Ontario.
Perhaps you know first-hand how to recover from a mental health problem like depression and that makes you passionate about this cause. Perhaps you are a visible minority or a person living with a disability and it is from this perspective that you have a passion for empowering youth to make a positive difference in their communities.
All of this passion and interest is equally combined with an ability to organize and follow step-by-step plans towards your goal. This position’s focus on detail and event planning skills doesn’t intimidate you because you are organized and efficient and know when to ask for help.
