Job Opportunity: Community Engagement Coordinators

The Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan is looking for two summer students to fill the positions of Community Engagement Coordinators.

OVERVIEW

Founded in 2019, the Cancer Foundation of Saskatchewan (Foundation) is the charitable arm of the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency (Agency).  The Foundation raises funds that stay in Saskatchewan to support the care and treatment of cancer patients.

We are a small but mighty team, passionate about raising funds to help cancer patients and their families as they go through one of the most difficult journeys of their life.  On average, 16 people in Saskatchewan are diagnosed with cancer every day.  And we are here to help.

If you share our passion for making a difference and would like to experience hands on work that has an impact on your community, then please join us!  No two days will be the same.  You will do everything from attending events, supporting projects, promoting the Foundation, and taking part in video creation.

Check out our social media channels (@cancerfdnsask) to learn more about who we are and what we do.  Every dollar raised here, stays here.  And we are proud of our accomplishments in the five years we have been in existence – raising over $20 million for cancer patients in Saskatchewan.
