Ottawa ON, Canada CharityVillage Full time
Independent Contractor: Resource Coordinator (Part-Time, 9 Month Contract), ABLE2

ABLE2 is a not-for-profit charitable organization that creates opportunities for people with disabilities to lead fulfilling lives by supporting them with programs, resources, and services. Canadians who have a disability face many barriers to society, including stigma, discrimination, poverty, exclusion from education and employment, and inequities in the health care and legal systems.

Reach Canada merged with ABLE2 in 2023 and is now known as the Reach Legal Program. Its mission to foster access to justice, through educational programs and independent legal referral services remains unchanged. Working with a network of over 200 lawyers, paralegals and mediators in Ottawa and the surrounding area, the Reach Legal Program holds educational seminars on a variety of topics relating to all types of disabilities and human rights, in addition to operating a highly successful legal referral program.

With funding from The Law Foundation of Ontario, the Reach Legal Program is delivering a project focused on increasing access to justice through front-line workers over a two-year period which ends in January 2025.

ABLE2 is seeking a Resource Coordinator for 20 hours per week to complete the delivery of this project for the Reach Legal Program.

  • Standardized requests for educational seminars targeting front-line workers.
  • Workshops and seminars to promote the Reach Legal Referral Program.
