Current openings
Social Video Lead This role exists to make CLWR visible and compelling to people who do not already know us. You will lead CLWR’s short-form social video and platform-native content on priority discovery platforms, especially TikTok and Instagram Reels. Your job is not simply to post content. It is to help CLWR earn attention in the feeds where people are already spending time, and to make international humanitarian, refugee, climate and food security issues feel immediate, human and worth caring about. This is a hands-on content role. You should be able to take raw story material, photos, interviews, staff-shot video, field footage, campaign ideas and existing CLWR content, and turn them quickly into strong short-form digital content. You also track the performance of the content you create, not just for reach but to ensure it’s driving new audience growth, engagement and lead generation. View full job description. Closing date is August 13, 2026. Qualified applicants should email a single PDF document including a cover letter and resume to hr@clwr.org. Please include links to a portfolio or examples of short-form social video or platform-native digital content you have created. In your cover letter, please briefly answer the following: 1. Why do you care about the issues CLWR works on, and what kind of story do you want to help tell? 2. How do you think an international charity can succeed on platforms where people are not necessarily looking for charity content?
Donor Relations Administrator This role will provide administrative support to the donor relations team during our busiest season, from October through January. You’ll help process donations, maintain donor records, prepare acknowledgements, respond to donor enquiries and provide administrative support that keeps our fundraising operations running smoothly. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys administration, thrives in a busy environment, and takes pride in accuracy, organization and customer service. View full job description. Position open until filled. Qualified applicants should email a single PDF document including a cover letter and résumé to hr@clwr.org. Please quote “Donor Relations Admin” in the subject line of your submission.
Fikre Tsehai Internship Fund
CLWR’s Fikre Tsehai Internship Fund was launched in 2025 to honour the leadership and legacy of Dr. Fikre Mariam Tsehai in refugee rights and humanitarian work. The fund supports paid internships at CLWR for people who have recently arrived in Canada as refugees or through special humanitarian pathways and who are looking to build a new career here. Interns work from one of CLWR’s Canadian offices (currently in British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario) in areas such as programs, operations, finance, communications, church relations or donor services, gaining Canadian work experience, mentoring and a bridge into long-term employment in fields connected to CLWR’s mission.
Internships are intended for those with some amount of education or experience in areas relevant to CLWR’s work who are looking to establish careers in Canada. To express interest in an internship through the fund, please send an email to hr@clwr.org with the subject line “Fikre Tsehai Internship Fund”, along with your resume and cover letter explaining how you meet the eligibility criteria (for example, your refugee or humanitarian pathway to Canada within the last three years), your skills or education, and why you’d like to intern with CLWR. Internships may be part-time or full-time and usually last between three and twelve months.
