Are you a strategic leader who is passionate about providing youth experiencing vulnerabilities with an environment where they can thrive? Can you bring together the best parts of education, mental health, and community? Are you a natural networker who can open doors and promote a new program? Does being part of a rapidly growing youth mental health organization launching its first programs in Ontario excite you? This just might be the opportunity for you!
THE ORGANIZATION:
Take a Hike Youth Mental Health Foundation empowers youth who experience vulnerability to change the trajectory of their lives with a full-time mental health and emotional well-being program embedded in an alternate education classroom. Take a Hike engages youth with intentional, continuous clinical counselling, experiential land-based learning, and community. Our public school district partners provide high quality education, and together, we empower youth with the skills and resilience they need to graduate high school, build healthy relationships, and achieve success – however they define it.
Over the past five years, Take a Hike has more than quadrupled its reach – from three to thirteen program locations in BC. We have a strategic objective to grow to 16 locations in the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Thompson/Okanagan regions and launch programming in Ontario by September 2025.
