Scouts Canada, the country’s leading youth organization, offers challenging programs for boys, girls and youth age 5-26 in thousands of individual groups in most cities and towns across Canada.
Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of youth? Excited to strategize on ways to attract more volunteers and youth to join Scouting? Interested in joining a fun, flexible and fast paced opportunity in the non-profit sector? You might be the right person to take on the role of an Area Support Manager in our Greater Toronto Council.
This could be the right opportunity for you if you are a self-starter committed to helping Volunteers (Scouters) develop and execute programs. You bring to the role excellent communication skills, customer management skills, business development and volunteer leadership skills. You are confident at managing current Scouting Groups and providing support to volunteers. However, just as important is the drive and ability to start new Scouting Groups. Effective planning and time management is key to your success. It is essential you prioritize to ensure you are effectively managing existing groups while allowing adequate time to start new groups.
Scouts provides youth with opportunities to experience great adventures and learn new things to become capable and well-rounded citizens. We have reinvigorated our program to meet the changing demands of youth. As an Area Support Manager, your responsibilities include introducing the community to the wonderful world of Scouting, enrolling youth and parents into our program, managing relationships within the community at large and facilitating success through coaching.
As an Area Support Manager, you will be assigned specific areas in Skyline, Humber West, Alders, and Old Mill and you will collaborate with Area Leadership teams on strategies and tactics to drive membership growth and retention. The Canadian Path is the next great chapter in Canadian Scouting and will not only revitalize our programs but shape the future of Scouting in Canada. A high quality program is integral to attracting and retaining youth members. As the Area Support Manager you will support and coach volunteers on the new Program Standards and ensure volunteers are delivering an awesome Scouting program!
We offer a comprehensive benefits package that includes a fabulous merchandise discount; an employer-matched retirement plan after one year; extended health, prescription, vision and dental coverage and more.
