London, Ontario, Canada Legal Aid Ontario Full time
CLEO (Community Legal Education Ontario) and OJEN (Ontario Justice Education Network) are seeking a full-time finance director.

About us

CLEO (www.cleo.on.ca) is a charitable, non-profit organization and legal clinic that provides information and resources for people and communities that face barriers to participating in the justice system (including low income, racial background, literacy, language, culture, disability, and accessibility). For 50 years, CLEO has built a strong reputation for producing and disseminating high quality, effective public legal education and information in digital, print, and other formats.

OJEN (www.ojen.ca) develops innovative educational tools that introduce young people to the justice system, help them understand the law, and build their legal capability. OJEN's programs and resources help prepare young people to manage the legal aspects of problems that arise in their own lives. Thousands of high school students and their teachers participate in OJEN programs each year. OJEN also partners with community organizations, after-school groups, and summer programs to offer workshops to hundreds of youth in under-served communities.
