Indigenous Project and Engagement Internship
3 weeks ago
**Job Number**:49031**
We are offering two internships as Indigenous Project and Engagement Liaisons in a partnership between the Indigenous Relations Office, the Ociciwan Contemporary Art Centre, the Heartland Project (through tapahtêyimôkamik), and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Two Spirited (MMIWG2S+) Council initiative. These positions provide a unique opportunity to work with multiple organizations and contribute to projects that support Indigenous communities.
These positions will be dedicated to providing support for community engagement activities that enhance the culture and well-being of Indigenous women and/or Two-Spirit peoples. The main focus will be on facilitating and supporting projects and initiatives that create positive environments and promote cultural resurgence within these communities. Additionally, these positions will play a role in empowering Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA peoples to reclaim their roles, cultural practices, and language within their respective communities.
Through the creation of a MMIWG2S+ Internship, the City is prioritizing deliberate actions to address issues related to the human and Indigenous rights violations against Indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQQIA people. Indigenous women have a history of disproportionate experiences of poverty, violence and abuse.
These positions offer a unique opportunity to gain valuable experience in both municipal government and community-based work. During the first half of the assignment, you will work within the Indigenous Relations Office, providing you with valuable experience in a municipal government setting. In the second half of the assignment, you will work with our partner organizations, allowing you to gain valuable community-based experience.
