As an organization that works to facilitate social change and the empowerment of diverse communities of youth, Head & Hands recognizes that living under marginalization and oppression often brings both challenges and valuable skills and perspectives. People of colour, people with disabilities, women, two-spirited and queer people, trans and/or non-binary people, people living with religious discrimination, and other candidates who experience marginalization are strongly encouraged to apply. We are committed to a creating a workplace that reflects the communities we serve.
Candidates are encouraged to make creative links between all kinds of work (activism, alternative economy work, artistic practice, volunteering, etc.) in their application. Head & Hands believes in building up the skills of our employees, and encourage folks with less formal or traditional experience to apply for all job posts.
