Indigenous Cultural Liaison (ICL), Indigenous Youth Mentorship Project
Permanent 20
hours per week with Benefits
The Agency
The Calgary John Howard Society (CJHS) is a community-based charitable organization dedicated to reducing the incidence of crime and increasing community safety through preventative and restorative justice practices. To accomplish these ends, we provide direct services to individuals at risk, advocacy for effective responses to crime with the individuals involved and education for youth and adults in the community. The Calgary John Howard Society is committed to an organizational environment that recognizes the dignity and worth of each person. CJHS values diversity and inclusion and welcomes qualified applicants from all walks of life.
The Program
The Indigenous Youth Mentorship Project provides a unique mentoring experience by offering one-on-one, group and peer mentorship. Volunteer Mentors provide support, advice, and guidance to youth seeking cultural connection and who may be criminally involved or at risk of involvement with the justice system. Regular group sessions offer the opportunity to enhance cultural connections, combined with a variety of social and recreational activities. The project draws on the knowledge and teachings of various Elders.
The Position
The Indigenous Cultural Liaison (ICL) will coordinate the Project. This includes supporting the recruitment, training and ongoing supervision of volunteer mentors. The ICL will play a role in fostering relationships between youth and mentors. They will work with the Elders to bring cultural teachings and connections to group activities. The ICL will work with the Indigenous Youth Advocate, justice officials and school affiliates to identify youth who may be interested in the program. The ICL will support the mentors and the youth in working together to develop a mentorship plan that includes goals and action activities, including exploring opportunities to build self-esteem and increase motivation.
The Indigenous Cultural Liaison will also work to support the CJHS Indigenous Cultural Initiatives Working Group to fulfill its purpose of "creating and promoting Indigenous cultural awareness to achieve inclusivity, respect, a sense of belonging and safety for our community".
This is a permanent position requiring 20 hours per week. The successful candidate will have a relevant post-secondary diploma or degree and a deep understanding of Indigenous Culture. The candidate must demonstrate strong connections to the Indigenous community, culture, and practices. Group facilitation experience will be considered an asset. A current criminal record check (CPIC) and Child Intervention Check are required (within the past three months). A criminal record would not automatically disqualify you from employment with us; we review all applicants on a case-by-case basis.
A valid Class 5 driver's license is required for this position. Brain Story Certification is also considered an asset.
Applications will be accepted until a suitable candidate is found.
