CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS: Let's Talk About Fair Pay and Just Conditions of Work in the Community Sector!
As part of the Coalition's new project entitled "Fair Pay and Just Conditions of Work in the Community Non-Profit Sector", we are inviting women and gender-diverse individuals working within the community non-profit sector to participate in a 2-hour Learning Circle. These Circles aim to better understand and address the root causes of low wages in the sector.
We are looking for:
- Women and gender-diverse individuals – including Indigenous, racialized, and immigrant women, as well as women with disabilities,
- working in any role within non-profit organizations that provide social services or engage in advocacy efforts.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- Share their day-to-day experiences with other women and gender-diverse people in a safe space.
- Learn from their coworker’s perspectives.
- Discuss potential solutions for improving working conditions and wages in the sector.
