Etobicoke, Canada Rexdale Community Health Centre Full time

Rexdale Community Health Centre (RCHC) is a non-profit, multi-service, community-based organization that serves communities in Rexdale and North-West Etobicoke. Operating out of three locations, RCHC offers core services that include; primary health care, health promotion, community development programs, Pathways to Education and Diabetes Education Centre.

Founded in 2007, the Youth Association for Academics, Athletics and Character Education (Y.A.A.A.C.E) is a community organization that seeks to engage children and youth from all communities - particularly those that are marginalized and under-resourced through participation in year-round comprehensive programming and activities (academics, athletics, recreation, technology, and the arts). with a mission to use strength-based approaches to advocate for and create safer communities through programs and services that are accessible and culturally reflective and build capacity in all children and youth.

TO Wards Peace Project (TWP) is a risk driven, community-centric interruption model that takes a public health approach to interrupting and intervening in community violence. This model leverages the lived experience of affected communities to develop and implement effective community engagement approaches, innovative communication tools, social media strategies and focused investment geared at violence prevention and interruption. The integrated approach will combine community based, social media and hospital-based violence interventions. RCHC in partnership with YAAACE, the City of Toronto and other partners will oversee the development and implementation of the initiative in Jane Finch.

The model features intervention services led by **Violence Disruption Workers** who have lived experience and knowledge of working in racialized communities, which strengthens their capacity to build rapport and constructively intervene with youth most vulnerable to being involved in serious violence and crime. Staff will perform some of the work in an office environment but mainly in community, they will utilize critical thinking and problem-solving skills to mitigate safety risks and interrupt conflict within specified geographical areas. By engaging and developing trusting relationships with youth in their cohort, Violence Disruption Workers will support the building of their capacity/skills, setting life goals, connecting them to a relevant and culturally appropriate spectrum of services and shifting their views around community violence.

We are looking for individuals that demonstrate a commitment to making positive change to themselves, the youth they serve and community.
