Halifax, Canada Shelter Movers of Toronto Full time

**WHO ARE WE?**

Shelter Movers is a national, volunteer-powered charitable organization providing moving and storage services at no cost to individuals and families fleeing abuse. We collaborate with local businesses and community agencies to support people, primarily women and children, as they transition to a life free of violence. Every year, in collaboration with community partners, our volunteer teams contribute tens of thousands of hours across Canada to support people transitioning to lives free of violence and abuse.

Working at Shelter Movers means creating a meaningful impact for families experiencing abuse. It also means showing allyship and playing a tangible role in breaking the cycle of gender-based violence in Canada. We are growing and looking to add caring, compassionate, competent people to join our team.

- Offer regular refresher training sessions and policy updates to volunteers.
- Oversee volunteer policy compliance and escalate concerns to the Operations Manager when necessary.
- Organize and lead volunteer engagement and appreciation events.

**EXTRA USEFUL SKILLS THAT YOU MAY HAVE**
