Who We Are: Join an organization that's making an impact in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities

We're an award-winning catalyst for change, activating opportunities for people of all ages in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to unlock their potential through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math).

Our Lifecycle approach ensures that we're with learners at every age and every stage of life, and our mission-driven model ensures that 100% of social enterprise proceeds sustain programs that benefit communities we serve. Your work here directly changes lives.  If you're passionate about making a tangible difference, this is where you belong.
 Job Summary  Ampere's Office of Sustainable Funding, including its Strategic Development and Social Enterprise divisions, ensures the organization's long-term viability by generating revenue to support both current and future initiatives. We secure funding for programs through grants from private foundations and all levels of government, individual and corporate donations, and through products and services offered by our Social Enterprise division.

To ensure up-to-date documentation, please ensure it has not been over six months since the date of completion of the VSS you are submitting. The expense for the VSS falls on the individual, not the company, if there are any concerns regarding this please speak to the People and Culture Team.
