The most intriguing of the opportunities we've seen this week:
The Pan Am Path is one of the legacy projects those games will leave for Toronto: a continuous trail for biking, walking, and recreational activites running through from one end of Toronto to the other.
PanAmPath.org, which is spearheading the legacy project, is looking for a
fundraising and partnerships consultant to develop high-level strategy, work on grant applications, and develop sponsorship packages.
Another community-led initiative: Cycle Toronto, which tackles cycling issues in the city. They are looking for a
membership and ward advocacy manager to help meet general growth targets and foster engagement in specific parts of Toronto.
TechSoup helps lower the barriers for social change organizatons who are trying to make the most of technology. They are looking for an
administrative assistant to help with day-to-day operations—ideally someone with facility in French. Also looking for administrative support is urban forestry group LEAF, which is hiring a
residential plantings program assistant to handle front-line service, data entry, and other office tasks.
Non-profit Street Kids International needs some help right now. They are looking for a
finance and operations manager to handle all budgeting and risk-mitigation; candidates should have two to five years of relevant experience.
Toronto's getting a new major cultural institution this year: the Aga Khan Museum, dedicated to Islamic culture and art, is opening its doors later in 2014. They are hiring a
technical director to oversee all technical needs with regards to performing arts that will be taking place there. The initial placement is for a three-month part time stint; if things go well this can lead to permanent full-time work as the facility opens to the public.
A cultural institution that's already well-established, the Gardiner Museum, has two openings right now: one is for a
marketing coordinator, for a 12-month contract position, and the other is a
development and programs assistant,
to support the organization's fundraising efforts.
Finally in the cultural sector: the heart of comedy in Toronto, The Second City, is looking for a
part-time marketing and communications coordinator. It's a junior position; applicants should have one year of relevant experience.
