CHIMO: Where What You Do Matters for A Lifetime. FT and Casual Includes some evenings and some Saturdays Can you hold a room, make people feel welcome, and help with a housing application at the drop-in help desk, all in the same afternoon? Leaving care at 18 often means facing rent, jobs, bills and loneliness all at once. Chimo's new Youth in Transition (YIT) Program is a place young adults aged 18 to 24 can come for the skills, information and people that make it easier.
We're looking for Program Facilitators to make it a place they want to come back to. Think of the program as a weekly menu of drop-in sessions: a hands-on housing application walkthrough, an honest conversation about substance use and harm reduction, a workshop on healthy relationships and boundaries, practice job interviews, a tax clinic, a ribbon skirt circle. There's food at every session and a help desk six days a week. We open in December.

We provide the training you'll need before you start working with young adults. Driving is an asset, not a requirement. We believe in supporting the people who make a difference every day.
