Job Posting No. 2024-14

**Position Title**:Community Connector
**Reports To**: Project Coordinator
**Project**: Bridging Legal Gaps Through a Community Led Approach Initiative

**About the organization, project and position**:
ActionDignity’s mission is to collaborate with ethnocultural, racialized, and equity seeking groups to create transformational changes in communities and society. The approach is to catalyze collective impact by building the capacities of grassroots racialized community members to strengthen their communities and bring about systems change. This is achieved through a range of programs aimed to create change at multiple levels: individuals and families, communities, and policy advocacy for systems change. Currently, ActionDignity provides different programs relating to social inclusion, gender equity, mental health collaboration, workers’ rights advocacy and public safety, using the intersectional lens of anti-racism.

The **Bridging Legal Gaps Through a Community Led Approach Initiative** is designed to bridge the gaps in accessing and understanding legal information for newcomers, refugees, and other racialized populations. The project will implement activities aimed at empowering these communities and improving their understanding of legal rights, responsibilities, and available resources, fostering empowerment and inclusion. This one-year initiative is funded by Alberta Law Foundation.

The **Community Connector** will engage and support community-led actions and advocacy work. They will play a vital role in knowledge dissemination, sharing and accessing resources for temporary foreign workers, newcomers and immigrants and other racialized communities and groups who face challenges in understanding and in accessing legal information due to language or cultural barriers.
