JOB SUMMARY
Siloam Mission recognizes that racism and colonialism - past and present - are contributors to disproportionate experiences of poverty and homelessness by Indigenous peoples. These same factors create barriers to employment for historically, persistently and systemically marginalized groups.
Our pursuit towards a Winnipeg without chronic homelessness must include an anti-racist and decolonial framework. As such, Siloam Mission is committed to building diversity, equity and inclusion into our board, staff team and volunteers. To advance this goal, we recognize the value in supporting growth in Indigenous leadership in a broad range of expertise, knowledge and skills.
The Wiidookaa-Gagewi Cultural Coordinator is integral to advancing Siloam's Truth and Reconciliation Strategy. As such, Cultural Coordinators will be designated progressive responsibility over special projects and/or tasks that connect Siloam to Indigenous practices. In addition to learning within the workplace, formal training opportunities in Indigenous Leadership will be made available to the individual candidates which align with their career objectives.
