Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

About us: Canadian Herstory is a multi-faceted empowerment platform that focuses on sharing the stories of women in Canadian history to spread awareness of gender inequality and inspire future generations. We received not-for-profit status in May 2021 and originally began by creating short educational videos about women in Canadian history as a method to inspire a younger age during a time of heightened social media use and reduced classroom time. Today, we are creating an online Canadian women's encyclopedia to offer a place for cohesive further education. While we continue to make short videos, we feel they limit our ability to educate and would prefer to keep them going as a tool to create interest in Canadian women's history while offering a starting place for further research. While Canadian encyclopedias exist, we feel many lack gender and racial inclusivity. Canadian Herstory is building a website with an online encyclopedia to fill that gap and offer further information easily understood by a younger generation.

Your Role: As a not-for-profit start-up we are seeking someone with business knowledge to join our team. Your role would include but is not limited to: working alongside our director to write a business plan, assisting in obtaining grants and searching for funding opportunities, and contributing to our brand development. You will work alongside our director and will be expected to use google meets or zoom for meetings.

Expectations: We are looking for someone with an educational background in business development or business administration who can think out of the box. You must be passionate about gender equality and support women in business.

Tools Required: As this is an online position, you must have your own computer, sufficient internet access and Microsoft Word or Google Docs for any written projects.

Skills: Advanced business knowledge and financial awareness.
