Phase One:
Hiring Community Action Leaders

We’re looking for 4-5 enthusiastic individuals to join our Doing It Right team as Community Action Leaders! These are new positions, so we want to hear from people from a wide range of experiences.

For YWITT, a community action leader is someone who identifies as a woman, non-binary or gender non-conforming person who has personally trained and/or worked in the skilled trades or technology sector in the Yukon. Community action leaders bring their lived experience, unique perspectives, and community connections to this project, help steer its direction, and lead community organizing, as well as action-implementation activities.
