SPCW is one of the oldest social justice organizations in Canada. Born out of the same turbulent times that led to the General Strike of 1919, SPCW focuses on change rather than charity to achieve our vision of a sustainable community that is caring, just and equitable.

  • We are a membership based organization, working to identify gaps, build capacity and support community-led initiatives.
  • We work primarily on issues related to poverty as it is the major barrier to full social inclusion. We identify gaps in services and resources and work to fill them through coalition building.
  • We also research and identify barriers created by public policy at all levels of government and advocate for progressive changes.

For more information on what we do, please find us on:

FB: https://www.facebook.com/spcwinnipeg

Twitter: https://twitter.com/spcw1919?lang=en

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spcw1919/ and website: www.spcw.mb.ca

Duties:

Attend monthly board meetings (10 a year)

  • As able, participate in board committees; executive, nominating, personnel, fundraising and membership engagement, poverty and justice, finance and any ad-hocs deemed necessary by the board
  • Support staff led initiatives that contribute to SPCW’s mission
  • Participate in the Annual General Meeting
  • Participate in strategic planning when necessary
  • Provide overall fiscal oversight and ensure that SPCW adheres to the by-laws as approved by the membership

Qualifications:

  • Keen interest in social justice and solutions to poverty-related matters
  • Active or interested in becoming active in the not-for-profit sector
  • Both a wide breadth of knowledge and a particular expertise in a related area are welcome

SPCW seeks to represent the diverse communities it serves so interested applicants are encouraged to self-identify if Indigenous, immigrant/refugee or have lived experience with social inequity or poverty.

If interested please forward your resume and/or a short paragraph on your community experiences and interest in SPCW to Kate Kehler, kkehler@spcw.mb.ca by July 31st, 2023.

Thank you!

In case you are wondering, we lean more to the guy with the shakes😉 But in all seriousness CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who took part in this year's election. Candidates, campaign workers, donors and voters. Manitoba has its first First Nations premier with Wab Kinew. That is historic. It is also noteworthy to see more and more diversity, be it gender, culture race etc..., in our representatives. So again CONGRATULATIONS to our new government leaders be they NDP, PC or Liberal. Time to work together for all Manitobans! ... See MoreSee Less
