United Way British Columbia is a community impact organization who responds to emerging issues in our communities, co-creating programs where and when they’re needed most. Working with community members, local businesses, agencies and governments, we strengthen vital connections that support people in need across British Columbia.

The Campaign Associate Program is a full-time fall work term that gives individuals an exciting opportunity to make a difference in their community, try new things, build their networks, strengthen skills and raise resources for the improvement of their community. Campaign Associates help local organizations to run workplace campaigns, raising funds to support the communities we call home. Loaned Campaign Associates are seconded to United Way for the work term and paid their regular salary by their employer.

A valid driver’s license and access to a vehicle is required for this role. Access to a cell phone, laptop and reliable internet access is also mandatory.

What you’ll do

Support a range of workplace campaigns ranging in company size, employment sector, and campaign dollar value, under the supervision of a Campaign Manager. Lead, empower, educate and encourage workplace volunteers to run successful workplace fundraising campaigns.

What you’ll bring

Enrollment in a 2nd or 3rd year undergraduate degree program. Organized, detail oriented, self-motivated and driven. Computer savvy with knowledge of the full Microsoft Office Suite and an interest in digital communication. Able to work under pressure; meet deadlines and exercise tact and discretion. Looking for an exciting challenge to make a measurable impact in the lives of British Columbians. Looking to advance their careers and test their strengths in varied environments. Able to build positive relationships effectively, support team members and collaborate on solutions.

Why you’ll love working here 

A supportive learning environment, great team culture and hands-on experience and training. Opportunity to grow your career and connect with like-minded students.  Parking is included and to assist those that are using transit, we operate a complimentary shuttle bus Monday through Friday with various pick up and drop off points around North Vancouver. 

No fundraising or account management experience is required. United Way provides all necessary training and coaching to help Campaign Associates support the running of effective fundraising campaigns, including a one-week orientation program.
