Description

Work alongside the CCS advocacy team, build relationships with elected officials in your community, and attend and present CCS priorities with CCS staff support

Add your personal cancer experience and/or experience living in your community to help drive CCS advocacy priorities.
Help organize advocacy activations at CCS signature events in your community
As opportunities arise, engage with the local media to share your story and CCS advocacy priorities
Take initiative to seek out ongoing advocacy opportunities and different ways you can engage with elected officials and community members regarding CCS advocacy priorities
You will also have the opportunity to attend an annual advocacy summit of CCS volunteers from across Canada and day of action on Parliament Hill in Ottawa

Why we need you

Everything we do is with the goal of preventing people from getting cancer, helping people with cancer to survive longer and improving their quality of life. We’re partnering with people across Canada in our efforts to make cancer care better.

A strong interest in health policy and how government works
Commitment to helping to improve the lives of everyone impacted by cancer
A knowledge of government relations and a commitment to be non-partisan whenever representing CCS
Strong sense of self-motivation, reliability and able to work independently with minimal supervision
Excellent verbal communication and interpersonal skills

Our investment in you is realized through:

Connecting you with a network of advocacy volunteers across Canada who have a shared passion to take on issues related to cancer
Integration where you are part of a team and learn about the work of CCS and our advocacy priorities
Connecting you in different ways across a national organization operating in communities across Canada
Supporting you in your advocacy efforts to influence the conversation when it comes to cancer
Ongoing training and skills development related to volunteer advocacy (eg telling your story, engaging with governments, presenting)
Collaboration with other advocates, public relations and government relations professionals

Your commitment

One-year commitment with term with opportunity for renewal; 1-2 hours per week on average with variability throughout the year
