Job description

The Creative Services team produces creative content to support summer programming and plan ahead for Fall/Winter programming. Working in small groups and serving all departments, youth in these roles develop confidence and master skills in analysis, problem solving, communication, and workplace participation. Our waterfall mentorship model encourages peer learning, with experienced youth helping others and vice versa. These roles are progressive over the summer, offering scope and responsibility based on ability, providing a valuable opportunity to 'level up' in a team setting where your voice matters daily.

Full-time summer employment contracts range from 8 to 16 weeks, from May through September. Post-secondary students are encouraged to apply as part of their co-op or work placement requirements. Contracts are funded by the Government of Canada and offered at the Ontario minimum wage.

This position follows a hybrid work model, combining remote work with in-office or meet-up locations as needed, depending on project demands. In-person work is required for tasks requiring collaboration or supervision. Training and workshops may be online or in-person.

Eligible applicants must:

• Be 15-30 years of age on their first day of work
• Be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or protected under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
• Be present in Canada during employment
• Hold a valid Social Insurance Number and be legally permitted to work in Canada
• Note that funding availability varies by location

Positions available include:

Copywriter

Write and edit clear, concise texts for grants, social media, marketing, and educational content (print and digital).

Video Editor

Work Hours:

• Typically 35 hours per week
• Rotational evening and weekend shifts as scheduled

This role suits individuals who enjoy collaboration, creativity, learning new skills, and engaging with artists and the community. Evening and weekend work may be required.
