YWCA Fraser Gardens - Langley, BC.

Note:

There are currently two separate permanent part‑time Community Development Coordinator positions available: one based in Langley and one serving Vancouver and North Vancouver. However, there is potential for the two roles to be combined into a single full‑time position for the successful candidate, provided they are able and willing to travel regularly between Langley, Vancouver, and North Vancouver. Candidates interested in the possibility of a full‑time opportunity should carefully consider the travel and scheduling requirements associated with supporting all three communities.
