Position Title: Outreach and Community Engagement Specialist 


Reports to: Director of Outreach and Stakeholder Relations 


Location: Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Canada. Mobile work, based from home; 

availability to attend events relevant to your role some of which may fall on 

occasional evenings and weekends. 


Position Status: Full-time (37 ½ hours per week) 


Closing Date: Open until filled, applications encouraged by October 10, 2025 


Are you passionate about making a difference in the education and lives of Canadian youth? 

Do you thrive on meeting new people, building relationships, and working towards shared goals? 

Are you excited about working with a mission-driven, high-performing team and having the 

flexibility to work primarily from home? If so, this exciting opportunity to contribute to raising young 

people’s confidence and interest in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) is for you! 


About You 

You are excited about building Scientists in School’s mission impact in Ontario and beyond, helping 

us step ever closer to our vision of reaching all children and youth in Canada with high-quality, 

hands-on STEM workshops. As a true “people person,” you have superior communication and 

organizational skills, and are customer-service oriented, with an ability to see situations from 

stakeholders’ viewpoints. You’re self-motivated and set strategic priorities, working collaboratively 

with your colleagues in the Outreach Team. You thrive in a results-oriented environment. With your 

prior experience building and stewarding stakeholder relations, you are just as comfortable in face-

to-face meetings as you are sending an email. A background or interest in education and/or STEM is 

an asset and will enhance your ability to connect with our mission and community. 


Who We Are and What We Can Achieve Together 

Scientists in School is a dynamic national charity dedicated to inspiring a love of STEM and environmental 

awareness in children and youth. Since 1989, we have been a crucial partner in elementary STEM education, 

delivering investigative in-person workshops that spark curiosity and foster youth interest, confidence, and 

STEM skills. We're focused on developing the bright minds and innovators needed for Canada's economic 

and social prosperity, and we do this through high-quality, fun, hands-on workshops, led by passionate and 

skilled STEM role models. In 2021, Scientists in School introduced richly investigative online workshops with 

topic-curated materials sent ahead for each student. This propelled national expansion from our longtime 

roots in Alberta and Ontario, and allow us to inclusively serve all elementary students in Canada. Last year, 

our visiting scientists engaged over 330,000 children and youth in more than 14,000 workshops across 

Canada, with a strong focus on amplifying participation of marginalized youth. Over 36 years, over 11 

million children and youth have experienced our hands-on workshops. Visit <a href="http://www.scientistsinschool.ca" target="_blank">www.scientistsinschool.ca</a> to

The Opportunity 

At Scientists in School, we deeply value our team and are driven by the knowledge that our investigative 

<a href="http://www.scientistsinschool.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.scientistsinschool.ca/</a>

workshops for classrooms and community organizations make a meaningful, lasting impact on young lives. As 

the Outreach Specialist focussing on the GTA, you’ll play a key role in stewarding customer relationships with 

GTA school board staff including principals and teachers, while supporting our mission of igniting lasting 

scientific curiosity and confidence in children during their formative elementary school years. In addition, you 

will build our customer base for our community workshops, stewarding existing partnerships with libraries 

and youth centres, while also investigating new avenues to bring STEM programming to youth. You will 

quickly build both internal and external relationships, by using data-driven strategies to identify strategic 

priorities and leverage donor-funded experiences to deepen our relationships with school boards and 

community partners. Although the focus of this role is enhancing awareness of our on-site and online 

programs within the GTA, you will also support developing new relationships with potential school board 

partners across Canada. Reporting to the Director of Outreach and Stakeholder Relations, you'll collaborate 

with our Outreach team, Fund Development and Communications team, and Program team to coordinate and 

implement awareness-building strategies and build lasting relationships with key stakeholders.
