Calgary, Canada Trellis Society Full time

**Hi. We're Trellis.**

Trellis Society is committed to active Reconciliation in alignment with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) 94 calls to action and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Reconciliation is a highly valued and integrated part of our culture and work. Trellis' Reconciliation journey is intentional with meaningful engagement from all team members both collectively and as individuals.

Trellis Society is focused on futures to provide a continuum of services to people from all backgrounds, including those with complex needs. Trellis meets people where they are in their journeys, whether they're growing up strong, aspiring to achieve life goals or turning over a new leaf. With our support, people from all walks of life are empowered to reach their potential and move beyond systemic barriers and cultivate great outcomes.

Our programs focus on improving access to resources, developing family and community supports and building people's capacity to deal with life's challenges. At Trellis we work with children, youth, adults, families, and communities to unearth their potential and support their growth.

**Our Values**:
We define who we are through living our values to achieve our vision to support everyone reach their full potential.
- **Courage**: we willingly embrace growth, and don't see it as optional
- **Empathy**: we relentlessly care about the growth of others and won't let anyone go unsupported
- **Learning**: we choose to grow through uncertainty, even when the status quo feels easier
- **Impact**: we go beyond what seems doable and prove that growth is possible.

The resounding impact we have on individuals and communities is thanks to our network of passionate, open minded and dedicated staff who are committed to the work they do everyday. We are looking for people who are eager to make an impact, while continuing to grow their expertise.

**We're Trellis - always growing and we're looking for passionate people who want to grow with Trellis**

Planet Youth Calgary is a partnership between United Way Calgary and Area, Alberta Health Services, Calgary Police Youth Foundation, Centre for Sexuality, The City of Calgary, Miskanawah, PolicyWise for Children and Families, Trellis, and the YMCA.

In Calgary, we are launching a five-year Planet Youth pilot program in four communities: Saddletowne (Saddle Ridge), Thorncliffe (Huntington Hills), Forest Lawn and Shawnessy.
