You’ll help to keep our records accurate by documenting information about our young people, volunteers, and partners to ensure each step of their journey aligns with our funding contracts. We’re strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too. We’d love it if you would be the voice for our Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity drive by crafting a local action plan that aligns with our big EDI goals.
