Good Neighbors Canada 

Good Neighbors is an international humanitarian development non-governmental organization (NGO) founded in South Korea in 1991. After 5 years, we obtained consultative status with the United Nation’s Economic and Social Council (UNECOSOC). Good Neighbors Canada launched in March 2017 in London, Ontario. Under the Good Neighbors’ international governance, we focus on fundraising, refugee and newcomer settlement programs, and global development campaigns to support field projects. 

Role 

The On-site Event Assistants will work as a team to contribute to the success of Good Neighbors Canada’s upcoming Christmas concert, an event which is fundraising to support Ukrainian orphans who have fled their home country due to the ongoing violence. On-site Event Assistants will, in turn, contribute to advancing the wellbeing of child victims of war, while developing their event management and teamwork skills.
