  • Excellent written and oral English language skills. Fluency in Spanish and/or French is a plus.
  • Previous experience in the social services sector is a plus.

Schedule & Compensation: We’re looking for someone with the flexibility to devote ~4-6 hours per week to this pro bono position, with the goal of publishing our first policy report by end of year. *Note: This is an unpaid remote/virtual volunteer opportunity.
