A Career in the Non-Profit Sector
The non-profit sector is a dynamic, vibrant, and meaningful workplace. Whether your favourite field is social services, health care, the environment, art and culture or any other intermediate field, there are countless career opportunities for people who share that same vision: making a difference.
Lately, the non-profit sector has grown both in terms of the number of organizations operating worldwide and the proportion of employees working under their respective banners. The benefits of working in the non-profit sector often go beyond traditional financial assistance, medical services or other charitable activities. They allow individuals to live with purpose, practice their craft with passion, and give back to local or international communities.
Many environmental associations have been established in Canada. Examples include Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd, both of which were established in Vancouver.
