**Social Enterprise Officer**

**Good Neighbours Canada**

Good Neighbours is an international humanitarian development non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in South Korea in 1991. After 5 years, we obtained consultative status with the United Nation’s Economic and Social Council (UNECOSOC). Good Neighbours Canada launched in March 2017 in London, Ontario, and moved to Scarborough in the GTA in 2022. Under the Good Neighbours’ international governance, we focus on fundraising, refugee and newcomer settlement programs, and global development campaigns to support field projects.

Good Neighbours Canada created and launched Goods4Causes, to reach our donors and supporters across Canada. Goods4Causes is a social enterprise which sells handmade items from international communities and local social enterprises in Ontario. It runs skills development workshops for local artisans to strengthen their handcraft small businesses, and subsequently support their socioeconomic stability. This is a space to showcase wonderful, handmade and sustainable products, as well as to help our local community and Canadian social enterprises.

**Role**

The Social Enterprise Officer is responsible for the ongoing management and expansion of our Goods4Causes online platform, and other essential administrative tasks related to the program.
