Join Us in the Beautiful West Kootenay Region and Make a Difference in the Lives of Children and Youth!
Reporting to the SKY Regional Manager, the Kootenay Boundary Community Services Co-operative (KBCSC, or “the Koop”) is seeking a part-time SKY South Coordinator to implement and oversee the day-to-day activities of the SKY Child and Youth Advocacy (CYAC) program in the West Kootenay region.
At SKY CYAC (Safe Kids & Youth Child and Youth Advocacy Centre), we’re committed to providing the highest level of support to children and youth who bravely come forward to share their experiences of abuse, violence, or neglect. Our approach is all about collaboration, and you’ll be part of a dedicated team working across multiple communities in the West Kootenay region.
What You’ll Do:
As the SKY South Coordinator, you’ll play a key role in coordinating multidisciplinary teams, ensuring seamless support for children and youth across the southern communities of the West Kootenays. Working alongside the SKY Regional Manager and the SKY North Coordinator, you’ll be at the heart of shaping and evolving our program to deliver best-in-class responses to kids who’ve experienced violence. This is your chance to make a tangible impact in a beautiful region where the power of community is at the forefront of the response.

The West Kootenay region is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets. A place where stunning natural beauty meets a lifestyle that’s all about balance, community, and connection to the land.

You’ll bring skills in:
- Building strong, collaborative relationships
- Leading diverse teams with cultural competency
- Communicating effectively, both in person and online
- Managing budgets and using web-based tools
Even if you don’t have every qualification but feel like you’re a great fit, we want to hear from you!
