**Terms**: Part-time 20-30 hrs/week, at least 6 month position

**Salary**: $25.96/h

**Location**: Coquitlam, based from home

**Job description**:
Neighbours United is a non-profit community-driven organization that brings together local residents to protect the natural environment while building just, equitable, healthy, and livable communities. Neighbours United coordinates hundreds of volunteers and outreaches to rural, small town and suburban residents each year to build sustainable communities and defend nature.

Neighbours United is the first group in Canada to develop a deep engagement canvass program, and the first group anywhere to complete a long-term deep canvass on climate and energy. Deep engagement canvassing, or deep canvassing, is a transformational practice for having vulnerable, emotional, and nonjudgmental conversations that decrease polarization and move people to become more in favour of an issue.

The Bilingual Coquitlam Community Organizer will support the Coquitlam Community Organizer to develop and run a deep canvassing program with our community partners on building support toward a zero carbon building policy in Coquitlam. The Organizer will support an ongoing deep canvassing program that includes engaging English and Mandarin speaking communities in having deep canvass conversations, collecting and tracking data, regularly evaluating and tracking learnings, recruiting volunteers, retaining and organizing volunteers to develop capacity and leadership, developing and running training programs, and organizing escalating action-taking by residents. The position may be extended beyond the initial 6 month commitment, depending on campaign needs and funding.

Neighbours United is committed to a safe work and volunteer space for everyone. All staff and board members have completed anti-oppression training. All new staff are required to complete anti-oppression training upon starting with Neighbours United if they have not previously completed similar training in the past two years.

Neighbours United is a Living Wage Employer. **Employment benefits include**:

- 2 weeks paid vacation (prorated), with flexibility around dates to accommodate staff needs
- Supply technology hardware
- 5 paid sick days
- Paid Statutory holidays including Boxing Day and Easter Monday, and additional consideration for days of cultural or religious significance
- Flexible work hours/work-life integration
- Paid time for leadership and organizer training
- Paid time for organizational justice, equity, diversity and inclusion training
- Hours tracking and time off enforced
- Opportunity for position advancement within the organization

The position is ideally based in Coquitlam. At minimum, travel will be required to participate in, train and lead deep canvass programs, as optimal canvassing turf is identified, and relocation may be required, depending on the program’s needs.

**Responsibilities**:

- Recruit, organize, coordinate, and train volunteers to support in educating and engaging members of the public on zero carbon step code
- Support tracking the metrics of the program within the organization’s database
- Support website development, content updating and other communications
