Edmonton, Canada Volunteer Alberta Full time

Type: Temporary Full Time, up to 10 months, depending on the start date

Hours of Work: 37.5 hours/week

**Who we are**:
Volunteer Alberta (VA) is a warm and vibrant organization that nourishes the conditions for civic engagement and volunteerism in the province. Through a collaborative approach with our Board of Directors, our work is guided by and responsive to the needs of the people and organizations we serve. Working in the spirit of mutuality and reciprocity, we work to provide services, share knowledge, and make connections to foster capability and capacity in the social impact/voluntary sector.

Volunteer Alberta actively lives into our values of collaboration, integrity, learning, responsiveness, adaptability, and engaging in an asset-based approach.

Our collaborative principles inform how we work together and embody our values:
1. We agree to be open by default and intentional about collaboration. We check our assumptions and actively acknowledge them.

2. We don't assume collaboration means everyone being involved from start to finish. We give careful consideration to who needs to be at the table.

3. We operate from a beginner’s mindset. We are curious, ask questions, and listen to new ideas vs. Judging or responding

4. We practice active and empathetic listening. We still our minds, listen with all senses and listen without interrupting. We are respectful of people's opinions and thoughts.

5. We are in service of each other. We reach common goals by supporting each other and checking egos at the door

6. We give everyone space/time to reflect and speak. It's okay to say "I don't know.”

**Why work for us**:
VA deeply values its employees and their contributions to VA’s mission, vision, and community. It’s important to us that we collectively create an environment that is psychologically safe and deeply values equity, diversity, and inclusion. We co-create and implement working conditions that consider and nourish employees’ wellbeing and safety.

**What we can offer you**:

- Medical and dental benefits and monthly RRSP contribution (after completion of probation period)
- Prorated paid vacation days based on 3 weeks/year, plus holiday-season office closure in December
- Volunteer days with pay
- Ongoing experimentation with four-day work weeks (currently we alternate week-to-week between having Fridays off and having “no meeting” Fridays)
- Paid wellbeing days
- Extra-long weekends for statutory holidays during the summer months
- Access to additional paid days off for Sustenance Days, Ceremony Days, and/or Religious/Cultural Holidays not included as Statutory Holidays
- Monthly public transit pass, or up to equivalent reimbursed for parking expenses for commuting to the Edmonton downtown office
- Annual stipend for professional development and (un)learning
- An organization that values and prioritizes inclusivity, diversity, equity, accessibility, and social justice

**About the role**:
VA is committed to testing new and innovative ideas with community members and has received funding through the Government of Canada to work with community partners in the testing and prototyping of a new internship program for mentors in Alberta. This internship program will use past successes from the Serving Communities Internship Program as the basis for developing a new program that offers volunteer mentors an honorarium and provides support and development opportunities as they participate in their volunteer roles.

The Community Internship Program Lead will take the project from idea to execution and will play a backend role in the development of this internship program. The Community Internship Program Lead will work with web developers, community partners, and other community members to set up the internship program for success with a solid foundation of processes, policies, and platforms.

If you’re the type of person who enjoys writing and monitoring technical processes, working with a diverse group of individuals towards a common goal, and seeing interesting ideas grow and develop, then this job might be the right fit for you

**Responsibilities**:

- Engage web developers in the creation of a new online database and internship tracking system for the newly developed program
- Work directly with program partners to develop a project charter/guiding document that outlines the goals, deliverables, and overall outcomes of the project
- Work directly with program partners to develop the structure and details of the new internship program and identify systems and processes needed to support those structures
- Draft process and policy documents to support structure of internship program
- Actively seek out and engage with community members who would like to pilot this project alongside VA and our program partners
- Build a retention strategy to keep volunteers engaged past the end of their internships
- Process evaluation with interns to determine what their experience has been and op
