social initiatives that address the needs of students and young adults aged 18 to 35 across Turtle

The Social Collective is seeking contributors in Yellowknife (NWT) to expand the network of
establishments participating in the Order an Angelot program. The program aims to prevent sexual and gender-based violence in bars and festive spaces and is free of charge to participating bars across Yellowknife (NWT).

As a contributor, your primary mission will involve promoting the program within local bars and establishments. This entails visiting bars, initiating contact with management, presenting the program and helping to coordinate logistics for training sessions.
