This is a six-month contract (October/22 to March/23) for 90hrs/month at $28/hr. – Visit: http://mchb.org/…
🍁 This PLEI project seeks to bring together
community members & leaders with legal system stakeholders. Together, they
will design & deliver educational sessions and opportunities that support
community members to understand-navigate the legal system – particularly in
situations of family violence. At the same time, the sessions will increase the
knowledge of legal system stakeholders about the context and lived experience
of cultural minorities encountering the legal system.
🌈 The role of the cultural broker will be to:
Network within the Spanish-speaking community in Edmonton to engage appropriate
leaders and community members in conversations about family violence and the
legal system, supporting them to come together with other stakeholders to
design, plan and deliver educational sessions opportunities.
🙏 This requires some
understanding of the diversity within the Spanish-speaking community &
sensitivity to internal dynamics. You will carry a small caseload of families
affected by family violence, helping with system navigation, providing holistic
support – funneling the learning from front-line work into project development.
🫂 And you will
also work productively in a team setting with both the project coordinator and cultural
brokers who have extensive experience in the Spanish speaking community in
Edmonton and regularly support families who are experiencing family violence.
