CUPE is looking for facilitators!

Member facilitators are a vital part of CUPE’s education program, providing a wide variety of workshops to members across Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and at times, across the country.

Are you someone who:

  • has experience in their local – on the Executive, as a steward on a committee or as an activist?
  • is comfortable speaking in front of groups?
  • is pro-CUPE and represents CUPE’s values?
  • represents CUPE’s diversity – gender, racialized, Black, Indigenous, differently abled, 2SLGBTQI+, and young workers?
  • comes from different areas of the province and works in different sectors?
  • has time in their schedules to facilitate a few times a year, including on weekends and during the week?
  • has been a participant in a CUPE workshop?
  • is open to learning new things and new ways of doing things?

If that sounds like you, download the application here.

Members should send their applications to Michelle’s attention (mcohen@cupe.ca) and copy jscott@cupe.ca by March 06, 2023. The first member facilitator training session is taking place in Ottawa in May. Applications received after this date will be considered for future training sessions.
