Work for Zero Ceiling

Zero Ceiling is committed to ending youth homelessness by providing young adults with unconditional support, advocacy, and opportunities. We create a safe, empowering, inclusive environment so they can become self-determining adults. We are working towards equity and justice for young adults who have been marginalized, including Indigenous, 2SLGBTQ+, and racialized young people.

We enthusiastically welcome applications from all qualified people, including those with lived experience, racialized people, people of all sexual orientations, women and trans* people, Indigenous peoples, those with diverse abilities, mental illness, and from all social strata.

Thank you for your interest in joining the Zero Ceiling team. Currently there are no open positions, however if you wish to volunteer please complete the form below. You can also email us at info@zeroceiling.org if you would like to send us your resume for future consideration.
