Food Rescue Team 2024

The Food Rescue team provides daily administrative support and frontline service for the No More Starving Artists (NMSA) food rescue program using the shopify e-commerce platform to distribute free groceries and supplies to professional artists and members of the public. Working in small groups, youth in these roles develop confidence and begin to master skills used in their participation in the workplace.

Our waterfall mentorship model means you will help others to learn things you are already an expert in and others will help you learn things you are working on yourself. These roles are progressive over the summer and youth are afforded as much scope and responsibility as they are willing and able to handle. It's a great way to 'level up' in a team setting where your voice and opinions genuinely make a difference daily.

This full-time summer employment contract ranges from 8 -16 weeks, May through September. Post-secondary students are welcomed and encouraged to apply for this position as part of their programs requirements for a co-op or work placement. Contracts for most roles are offered at the Ontario minimum wage.

This is an onsite position. Training and Workshops may be online or in-person, as needed.

• Be 15 - 30 years of age on their first day of work

• Be a Canadian citizen, have a permanent resident card, or be protected under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. 

• Be present in Canada while working

• Hold a valid Social Insurance Number, and be legally entitled to work in Canada in accordance with relevant provincial or territorial legislation and regulations
