About KALI

KALI for Community was created from a simple belief: when community supports community, we all become stronger.

KALI stands for Knowledge, Acceptance, Love & Integrity. We are building a community-based not-for-profit that brings people, practitioners, businesses and organizations together to help make wellness, education, connection and support more accessible to everyone.

We are still growing — and that's the exciting part. We're looking for someone who doesn't just want a job, but would love the opportunity to help us build something meaningful from the ground up.

About the Position

We are looking for an organized, creative, resourceful and community-minded Office Administrator to join KALI during an important stage of our development.

This is a hands-on position involving administration, communications, community outreach, program coordination, marketing and organizational support.

You will work closely with KALI's Executive Director and leadership. Initially, you'll receive guidance and direction as you learn the organization, but we're looking for someone who can increasingly take an idea, organize it, research it and help move it into action.

We want a self-starter — someone who doesn't always need to be told the next step, but is comfortable asking questions, finding answers and bringing ideas and opportunities forward.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide day-to-day administrative support, including emails, phone inquiries, scheduling, documents and records.
• Coordinate program schedules, registrations and participant tracking for workshops, classes and community initiatives.
• Maintain organized digital and physical filing systems and internal records.
• Assist with invoicing, payment tracking and basic bookkeeping support.
• Maintain spreadsheets, databases, booking platforms and other organizational systems.
• Support grant-related activities, including researching potential funding opportunities, organizing deadlines and requirements, document preparation, data collection and reporting.
• Assist with marketing and outreach, including social media, newsletters and promotional campaigns.
• Help create professional print and digital promotional materials.
• Assist with photography, video and digital storytelling.
• Help maintain and update website content.
• Communicate and build relationships with practitioners, Community Allies, businesses, sponsors, community organizations, vendors and other partners.
• Help identify potential partnerships, funding opportunities and community resources that align with KALI's mission.
• Assist with fundraising, sponsorship and community-engagement initiatives.
• Help coordinate events and community programs, including logistics, setup and participant support.
• Collect participation information, feedback and impact stories to help KALI measure and communicate its work.
• Look for ways to improve administrative systems and make the organization more efficient.
• Most importantly, be comfortable helping take projects from idea → plan → action → completion.

Who We're Looking For

You may be a great fit if you are:

Exceptionally organized and able to manage several moving pieces without losing track of the details.

Self-motivated and resourceful. When you don't know something, your instinct is to research it, ask questions and find a solution.

Creative. You see possibilities and enjoy helping bring ideas to life.

A strong communicator. You're comfortable speaking and writing with community members, practitioners, businesses and organizations.

Professional but personable. You can represent KALI professionally while still being warm, genuine and approachable.

Reliable and accountable. You follow through on what you say you're going to do.

Comfortable working independently and collaboratively.

Someone with integrity, discretion and strong professional ethics.

And perhaps most importantly, you genuinely care about people and community.

We're looking for someone with that little bit of spark — someone who gets excited about the possibility of doing work that can make a difference.

Skills That Would Be Valuable

Strong administrative and organizational abilities are important.

Experience or skills in any of the following would also be valuable:

Graphic design • communications • social media • community development • grant research • fundraising • event coordination • photography/video • website management • nonprofit/community work

Professional graphic-design experience is particularly valuable. Experience with Adobe Creative Cloud — especially InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat — is strongly preferred. Photography, Premiere/video editing and website-content experience would be additional assets.

Comfort with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, databases and social-media platforms is also beneficial.

Postsecondary education is not required. Relevant experience, demonstrated ability, initiative and fit with KALI's values will all be considered.

We don't expect one person to arrive knowing everything.

We do expect you to be willing to learn, ask questions, find answers and take initiative.

An Opportunity to Grow

We hope this position can become more than simply a one-year work experience.

The successful candidate will have an opportunity to help establish KALI's systems, relationships, programs and community presence from an early stage.

As KALI grows, there may be opportunities to take on greater responsibility and grow professionally with the organization.

We're not simply looking for someone to work for KALI. We're looking for someone who can grow with KALI.

NOHFC Eligibility

This position is supported by the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) People & Talent Program – Workforce Development Stream.

Because this is a NOHFC-funded internship, applicants must meet NOHFC eligibility requirements in order to be considered, including being:

• At least 18 years of age.
