About Working with NYA

  • The most important aspect of every job at NYA is supporting the success of our Participants and Alumni. This means that our approach, hours and philosophies support their needs, their potential, and their excellence. 
  • Our work and approach are directed by our guiding principles (http://nya.ca/about-us/who-we-are/)
  • We are a northern serving and northern focused organization. It’s important that every staff is knowledgeable and connected to the people and places that we serve. Through diversity, openness and collaboration NYA provides a unique opportunity to learn, share and grow, while reflecting the culture and lifestyle of the Canadian North.
  • NYA’s environment is a balance of fun, flexible and friendly, passionate, and energetic and totally committed. This means that it is a good fit for people who like versatility, a fast pace, and like to work together to take on big challenges.
  • We consider ourselves a training organization and we offer lots of opportunities to be involved in program creation, learning new areas, and contributing ideas and input.
  • NYA has a small staff that works together to make big things happen. This position is program and participant focused but will include a wide range of tasks on any given day. No two days are exactly the same.

Volunteer Opportunities

Each year hundreds of individuals give their time to NYA in many different roles. Without them, we would simply not be able to operate.

Mentor, flexible commitment, distance

NYA is looking for people who would be willing to mentor youth remotely. The youth are taking part in some of NYA’s special projects, and the areas of mentorship can range from general support to mentoring in an area of your interests or skillset.

We are always interested to hear from those interested in volunteering with NYA! We can always benefit from the time and talents of those who offer.
If you’re interested in volunteering with NYA, please email rebecca@nya.ca
