Description

Coordinator, Networks for Change (N4C), (12-Month Contract)

We at the Tamarack Institute recognize that the majority of our work occurs on the ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples, including the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. We recognize the contributions of Indigenous people and support their ongoing struggle for self-determination and sovereignty. We work to understand the history of the lands upon which we are guests and to contribute to justice for all Indigenous Peoples.

We also wish to acknowledge those who came to Turtle Island – as migrants either in this generation or in generations past – and those of us who came here involuntarily, particularly those brought to these lands as a result of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and Slavery. Tamarack pays tribute to those ancestors of African origin and descent and thanks them for their contributions toward transforming systems in ways that promote everyone’s sense of belonging and safety. At Tamarack, we are taking action that allows us to be aware of, recognize, and address the systemic ways in which anti-Black racism manifests. Black and Indigenous communities demonstrate that we can work together in solidarity toward peace and equity as we use collective wisdom, knowledge, and gifts that promote healing within our communities.

Tamarack is seeking a full-time 12-month contract position of Coordinator, Networks for Change (N4C). Although Tamarack’s HQ and governing policies are based in Ontario, we offer remote work for employees residing anywhere in Canada.

About Tamarack:

Tamarack catalyzes collective action with diverse leaders to solve major community challenges - ending poverty, building youth futures, building belonging, and addressing climate change.

Through our Networks for Change, we support a network of networks representing over 400 municipalities dedicated to ending poverty in its multiple forms: economic, generational, relational, and environmental.

The Learning Centre is Tamarack's consulting, capacity building, and thought leadership hub, partnering with changemakers to strengthen collaboration, build leadership, and advance systems transformation.

Nearly 25 years of experience has shown us that rigorous local collaboration moves outcomes for entire communities, not just individuals. Through our Tamarack 2030 Plan, we committed to interrupting racism, colonialization, and xenophobia in communities in Canada.
