Description

Atlohsa Family Healing Services is seeking a motivated and dynamic individual to fill the role of Cultural Coordinator-Giwetashkad.

Working as part of the Giwetashkad Indigenous Homelessness team, the primary role of the Cultural Coordinator is to ensure that Indigenous culture-based interventions are fluid throughout all Giwetashkad programs.

The Cultural Coordinator supports the overall implementation of the Giwetashkad Indigenous Homelessness Strategic Plan.

Using a wholistic Indigenous-led approach to principles of Harm Reduction and trauma-informed care, the Cultural Coordinator is responsible for working with Giwetashkad program staff (including Wiigiwaaminaan hub, Housing Support Program and Outreach, supportive housing, and Giiwiitaabiwag community education) to provide mentorship towards implementing Indigenous land-based cultural interventions in their programs.
