We’re looking for our “village.”

One of the biggest lessons we've learned in our work is that our systems and ways of doing things don't work for all of us, especially the ambitious goals of Group Project Initiatives. We truly believe in our ancestral "it takes a village" energy, so thank you so much for considering volunteering for Group Project Initiatives and choosing to be a part of our village!

If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out the form below. We will contact you as needed and keep you on our roster for projects and initiatives that match your skills.

Overview

Group Project Initiatives is more than just a company; it's a collective mission to transform our society’s culture into one of care and empowerment. With a focus on fostering third spaces for intergenerational and interdisciplinary conversations, we recognize that society change requires collective effort. At the heart of our work lies a commitment to inclusive storytelling through On Canada Project Media, community empowerment via the Social Good Collective, and strategic impact consulting at Good Trouble Studies.

Grounded in values like boldness, collectivism, and empathetic engagement, we strive to create meaningful, inclusive change in our communities and beyond. While we are currently navigating our growth phase, we are excited to be hiring for a range of pivotal roles to our continued evolution and success.

While rapid response content will be prioritized and handled urgently, most content will be expected to be completed within a week, with some items requiring a bit more urgency. The description below illustrates the content workflow. Scribes will work closely with the OCP Founder and our Community Coordinator to maintain a cohesive and dynamic content strategy.
