Remote jobs in Kanada

Do you like connecting with and learning about people? Are you compassionate, curious, and community-driven? The Community Correspondent role is a wonderful opportunity to connect with under-recognized essential workers. This role involves reaching out to and interviewing everyday heroes in various work sectors, including community service, education, transportation, postal service and delivery, custodial and sanitation, food and agriculture, retail and manufacturing, and public health. You will gather testimonies from these individuals about their stories, insights, and experiences. Similar to “Humans of New York,” these stories will be shared publicly on our website and social media to raise awareness about these workers and recognize them as extraordinary individuals. For students, this role can count towards volunteer hours at the discretion of your guidance counselor. We can also certify hours and provide references after a reasonable period of volunteering.

Qualifications (No experience necessary!)

• Enthusiastic about telling the stories of under-recognized workers
• Comfortable interviewing people in the community and across the country
• Compassionate and community-driven attitude

About our Initiative

Beyond The Wards Canada aims to highlight the contributions of under-recognized frontline workers often overlooked by mainstream media. While healthcare workers fighting COVID-19 are vital, it’s equally important to recognize heroes in other daily roles, such as transportation, sanitation, and postal workers. We provide a platform for individuals to submit messages of gratitude through art, notes, letters, and performances, which are then sent to the workers and shared across our media platforms. Our initiative seeks to support these essential workers with messages of encouragement and appreciation. For more information, visit our website: https://www.beyondthewardsto.com/. We have launched our testimonial campaign, Stories Unmasked, sharing the challenges faced by essential workers during the pandemic, and plan to launch an activism campaign soon.
