About This Opportunity
Looking for hope in these challenging times? Passionate about making a difference? Results Canada is the place for you!
Results Canada is a grassroots advocacy organization of passionate staff and volunteer advocates committed to generating the political will to end extreme poverty around the world. We focus our work on global health equity, access to quality education and economic opportunities.
What does generating the political mean? We believe in mobilizing our volunteer advocates to influence key decision-makers, such as the Government of Canada. You will learn how to engage with your Member of Parliament, senators, and even the Prime Minister, the very people who have the power to improve policies and make the investments needed for Canada to do its fair share in ending extreme poverty. Volunteers also raise awareness by writing to the media, supporting and challenging global institutions, using their voices, attending events, fundraising, and more.
You have the power to keep influencing the government and other key decision makers to do what’s right. And we’ll show you how.
