About 2Spirit Manitoba Inc.: 2Spirit Manitoba Inc. (2SMB) is a not-for-profit organization with office located in Winnipeg, on Treaty 1 territory, on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Dene, Dakota, Ininew, Anishininew, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.

2SMB began in 1986 in Winnipeg, when a group of concerned community members came together to support each other and plan community events for our 2Spirit relatives. After many years of small-scale community support, we incorporated as a non-profit organization in March 2006. 2SMB is now a community-driven organization that focusses on helping 2Spirit & Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ (2SIQ) holistically improve their circumstances. We currently do this by providing awareness workshops, advocating to prevent and address systemic violence, hosting community events and ceremonies, collaborating and partnering with other organizations, and consulting with organizations, government, and grassroots initiatives on how best to serve 2SIQ community.

2SMB is currently undergoing some essential shifts in practice, internal capacity building, and program development. This is an exciting time for expansion, growth, and connection!

About the Role

2SMB seeks to fulfill one part-time Logistics, Communication, and Community Access Coordinator position for our Good Relatives anti-discrimination Project which will operate throughout Northern and Southern Manitoba.

This includes coordinating transportation, food, materials, venues, access accommodations, and comfort logistics that uphold the dignity, safety, and inclusion of 2Spirit participants, Elders, and staff.

This role requires someone who is detail-oriented, deeply relational, and committed to anti-colonial access work.

• Event & Travel Support
  • Arrange venue rentals and ceremony spaces with attention to community protocol and cultural context.
  • Liaise with host communities to ensure they have what they need to support your team’s visit (tables, tech, local helpers).
  • Keep track of spending and work closely with the Project Lead for approvals and budget alignment.
  • Maintain clear, organized records of bookings, requests, and participant access info (with privacy protection).
  • Attend team meetings and debriefs to flag upcoming needs or unresolved logistical challenges.
  • Collaborate with Learning Facilitator, Project Lead, and community participants to ensure events meet the emotional and cultural safety needs of participants.
  • Actively reflect and adjust based on community feedback and relational accountability.
