Job Description

Embark on a transformative journey with Jack.org, where you will play a pivotal role in reshaping youth mental health across Canada.

Focused on addressing the prevalent issue of mental health distress among youth, particularly those systematically excluded from mental health dialogue and action, we adapt programming to cater to diverse youth demographics and communities across Canada. Our approach centers on upstream prevention of mental distress and the promotion of mental well-being.
Ready to play a vital role in supporting the team that shapes the future of youth mental health in Canada? Join us in ensuring our dedicated staff is well-supported, enabling them to deliver on our mission with excellence for the benefit of the youth we serve!
