Misiway is an Indigenous-led Primary Health Care Organization in Timmins, Ontario. Misiway, meaning “everyone” in Cree, reflects our commitment to inclusive, community-centred care. We support the whole person by bringing together people, culture, and services to ensure care for everyone.

Status: Full-Time, Seasonal (35 hours per week)
Salary: $19.50/hour

About This Role

Our Child and Youth Program supports children, youth, and families across Timmins and surrounding communities. Summer is one of our busiest seasons. Programming includes healing and talking circles, land-based activities, cultural events, school outreach, and one-on-one support.

You’ll work alongside Child and Youth Workers, our Coordinator, Traditional Healers, and Elders. Elders and Traditional Healers are part of our team, not visitors to it. Land-based programming is built into the calendar, not bolted on.

You’ll finish the summer with real experience and a reference. You’ll also leave with a better understanding of wholistic care
