Who we are
Children are at the front and centre of what we do; they are the foundation of our purpose and the basis for our evidence-driven strategy. Our mission is to transform the lives of children, youth and their families by developing and delivering innovative, research-based mental health and early learning programs. At the Child Development Institute (CDI), we are passionate about helping our communities’ most vulnerable members and their caregivers. It motivates each of us to face what can be difficult situations while continuously finding the purest joy in play, in silence, in advice, and in the unbelievable strength and resilience of our young clients. Joining us now is a rewarding opportunity to be part of an organization that is built on a legacy of more than 100 years of helping children and families.
Recognized as a leader and model for measurement-based impact, we are client-centred, family-centred, and data-informed. We are a place where professionals grounded in mental health, care, and well-being of infants, children and youth, come together in collaboration, learning and inclusion. As a multiservice organization delivering social, emotional, and behavioural counselling services, early childhood education, learning disabilities and mental health services, and family violence services, we address the whole person from when they begin their life. Every child and family that reaches out to us is unique, and we value and embrace their individuality. We deliver the tailored support and tools they need to build life-long skills, positive mental health, and resilience. With their trust in us, we guide children and families along a supportive journey. It is an often difficult path and simultaneously the most rewarding experience for providers, children and families.
Who we need
SNAP YJ, which stands for Stop Now And Plan Youth Justice, is based on a framework designed to develop, train, and support an intervention approach aimed at reducing the risk of further legal issues or gang involvement for youth aged 12 and above. The Adaptation Framework project, a 5-year initiative, is designed to create population-specific programming materials and develop frameworks for adaptation implementation and evaluation.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Research and Evaluation, we are seeking a Project Coordinator to join our Scaling, Research, and Development Team. In this role, you will oversee the SNAP YJ Model Adaptation Framework project, ensuring smooth coordination and timely execution. Your responsibilities will include supporting and coordinating a network of external collaborators with activities that will facilitate the adaptation of gender-based programs tailored to high-risk youth, with a particular focus on youth who identify as Black and/or 2SLGBTQ. You will facilitate communication among stakeholders, oversee the completion of tasks, and promptly identify any potential risks or delays that could impact project timelines. Your main goal will be to ensure the project is managed efficiently, maintaining strict timelines, coordinating effectively across different groups, and providing the necessary support to achieve project success.
Please note that this is an in-office role based out of our Euclid location five days per week.
Who you are
You may already have experience in project coordination or are eager to apply your organizational skills in a role that truly makes a difference. You excel at managing tasks and prefer a supportive role over leading entire projects. Your meticulous attention to detail will help you effectively track activities against deadlines, and your follow-up and follow-through will allow for seamless communication between stakeholders and internal teams. Your efforts will be crucial in driving the project forward by coordinating tasks and diligently following up on progress.
CDI’s Scaling Research and Development team works in an ever-changing landscape for youth involved in the criminal justice system. This role will require flexibility as the project evolves through the development and piloting of materials with a robust feedback loop. As a nonprofit mental health agency, we undertake significant yet grounded projects. Your impact will be measured by your ability to connect, facilitate, and ensure smooth project execution in a setting that prioritizes evidence-based best practices that will result in meaningful, impactful outcomes.
As our new Project Coordinator, you will:
