Women's Rural Resource Centre Position Posting

Women & Family Services Advocate - Canada Summer Jobs - May 1st to August 31st


At the Women's Rural Resource Centre of Strathroy and Area ("WRRC"), we use a feminist, anti-oppressive, trauma-informed framework to deliver prevention, education and crisis support services to women and their families who have been impacted by violence and abuse in rural Middlesex.

Our services include a 24 hour helpline and emergency shelter, risk assessment and safety planning, advocacy, system navigation, individual and group healing opportunities, and community development.

We are currently recruiting for people who share our values to come work with us.

Our core work is with women and families who have been hurt by violence and abuse; we believe violence is borne out of systemic beliefs that value one group of people over another based on gender, sex, race, ethnicity, age or ability.

The beliefs, attitudes and collective norms of a community underpin the presence of abuse; in this way, an entire community bears the wounds of violence.

We come alongside one woman, one family at a time, to support healing, working towards restoring the broader health of our community.

We have a vision for a vibrant connected community where women and children can thrive in healthy relationships.

We are looking for advocates to join our team who care about the same things.

As a team, we aim to stretch, grow, challenge and champion each other, knowing we can only serve others well when we too are healthy and alive.

If this stirs a fire in your belly, then consider joining our team
