COME WORK WITH US 🧡

We’re growing the SGP team and have FOUR paid work experience opportunities available thanks to United Way BC

We’re looking for kind, creative, community-minded humans who believe in the power of connection, belonging and peer support:

✨ 2 Peer Support Group Facilitators
📣 Communications & Outreach Assistant
🤝 Peer Program Coordinator

Each role is 200 paid hours between September 2026 and February 2027, with flexible and/or rotating schedules depending on the position, paid as a stipend totalling $3000 over the course of the placement.

These opportunities are funded through WEOG, which means specific eligibility requirements apply — including folks who are currently receiving or eligible to receive qualifying income or disability assistance.

If you’d love to spend a few hours a week helping us create spaces where people can show up, connect, have a laugh and feel like they belong, we’d love to hear from you.

And as always — sharing is caring! Help us get these opportunities in front of the right humans. ✨

About the movie: Raised in Africa by her zoologist parents, Cady Heron thinks she’s prepared for anything—until she starts high school and finds herself navigating the wild world of cliques, popularity, and teenage drama.

🎬 Movie Night – TONIGHT (April 13th)

Join us this evening for Forrest Gump - a heartfelt classic about life, resilience, and unexpected journeys.

Come early, settle in, and enjoy a relaxed night with snacks and great company!

About the Movie:

Forrest Gump follows a kind-hearted man who, despite life’s challenges, finds himself at the center of many major moments in American history. Through his unwavering optimism and simple wisdom, Forrest experiences love, loss, friendship, and success—while staying true to himself every step of the way.

It’s a heartfelt story about resilience, destiny, and how even the most ordinary life can be extraordinary 🧡
