Fundraising Intern

Huron Hospice provides hospice palliative care at a home on a rural estate west of Clinton,
Ontario and home-based care along with grief and bereavement support. Ontario Health provides forty percent of our funding, and we raise the balance through donations and fundraising activity.

We have received a Canada Summer Jobs grant from Employment and Social Development
Canada to hire two people between the ages of 15 and 30 (inclusive) who can work with our full-time fundraiser for eight weeks this summer. The positions support fundraising and communications at Huron Hospice while also providing an excellent opportunity for candidates in these roles to gain new skills in communications, event planning and research.

We welcome applicants from indigenous communities and visible minorities. We invite persons with a disability and members of the LGBTQ community to apply.
