Job Description / Duties
The Opportunity
Issues of poverty, homelessness and addiction are hard. There are no straight-forward answers, but there is hope. Have you ever thought to yourself “We can do better”?
For the Church Relations team at UGM, the answer is a resounding YES and we lean into the hope that we can walk with each other and churches through this process. Church Relations seeks to interrupt injustice, support dignity, and work with churches to do the same. As a Church Relations Coordinator, you will help teach church congregants what it means to live in a world where everyone has value and reciprocity is more important than power or prestige. Through organizing workshops, leading tours and helping with the logistics of day-to-day operations, you will work with the rest of the CR team to open up conversations, wrestle through tough issues and help develop more holistic communities. If you are creative, relational, and conscientious, we would enjoy a conversation about joining us to do better.
“If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your lieration is bound up with mine, then let us work together.” –Lilla Watson, Indigenous Murri activist, academic and artist
You may come into contact with clients in crisis situations, brought about by diverse problems. There will be other staff nearby to assist as required.
This is a permanent, full- time position (37.5 hours). For a copy of the full job description, please visit our website.
