Cambridge, Canada Tim Hortons Foundation Camps Full time

Tim Hortons® Foundation Camps (THFC) help youth from underserved communities achieve their full potential through multi-day, overnight camp experiences. Whether at camp or back home in their communities between visits—our youth work to build social, emotional, leadership and innovation skills and behaviours like volunteerism and motivation to learn so they become civically and academically engaged, and successfully transition to adulthood.

At Tims Camps, we are catalysts for good—helping our youth participants and teammates be the best they can be, developing personal and career growth. We empower young people with skills to open doors to their future. That is our North Star and, together, we help shape leaders that build stronger communities.

**Summary**:
This role will work with some independence to collaborate with the youth we serve, their guardians, community agencies, and our internal teams to set participants up for a successful summer camp experience. Working from a preventative and strengths-based approach, this role will ensure effective communication, documentation, and planning to adequately prepare both campers and camp teams in advance of their camp experience and post their camp experience. Travel may be required to fulfill the responsibilities of the role. While the role requires collaboration with inter-departmental teams and external organizations, the ability to work independently and to effectively problem solve is critical.

**Work location**:
This role will be mainly based out of the Foundation's Home Office in St. George, Ontario. This role has the potential to have some hybrid/remote work options available once training and onboarding is complete.

**Posting Type**:Internal and external.
