Deadline:
Mar. 28, 2025
Organization Description:
The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts (SCFWA) is honoured and grateful to carry out its work in the shíshálh swiya, the unceded and traditional homelands of the shíshálh People. We strive to be respectful allies through both word and action.
Celebrating its 43rd year in 2025, the SCFWA is Canada's longest running literary festival with the mandate to present Canadian writers exclusively. The Festival strives to be inclusive and accessible with programming that includes and reflects diverse communities, celebrating authors writing in a wide range of genres.
Mandate:
1. Bring diverse writers in Canada together with readers through a summer festival in Sechelt and on-going inclusive community programming
2. Nurture the Sunshine Coast as a literary and cultural community
3. Foster literacy and the development of the craft of writing
The SCFWA's August festival has become a nationally recognized event that attracts writers from across the country and an audience of 6,000-7,000 over the course of four evenings and three days. In addition to producing its annual festival, the SCFWA works closely with community partners on educational and outreach programs throughout the year. Celebration of Authors, Books and Community (CABC), a joint initiative with School District No. 46 (Sunshine Coast), brings Canadian writers into schools and classrooms, reaching over 1,000 students annually. CABC also publishes Coastal Voices, an annual adjudicated anthology of writing by Sunshine Coast elementary and secondary school students.
The SCFWA is a provincially registered non-profit society (S-22382) and a federally registered charity (119206142RR0001).
The Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts (SCFWA) is seeking a Volunteer Coordinator/ Administrative Assistant. This is a temporary position being offered from Monday, May 12 to Friday, August 22, 2025.
The successful candidate will report to and work closely with the Festival's Artistic and Executive Director (AED) on a wide range of duties relating to the planning and production of an annual literary festival. This position involves a wide range of administrative and clerical tasks; patience and attention to detail are very important. While it is an entry level position, the job offers exposure to and participation in many aspects of event management and festival production. We are also committed to offering opportunities for our intern to learn and to be mentored. More information about the SCFWA can be found on our website: www.writersfestival.ca.
Responsibilities:
Principal responsibilities include:
1. in-person and telephone reception
2. answering queries from the public
3. liaising with and scheduling shifts for approximately 100 volunteers
4. processing ticket orders
5. providing administrative support to the AED
Qualifications:
This position is subject to funding from the Canada Summer Jobs Program. Applicants must be 15-30, and either a Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or person to whom refugee protection has been conferred (international students are ineligible) and be legally entitled to work in Canada.
The successful candidate will:
1. enjoy and be comfortable with working with the public
2. be accurate, organized and efficient
3. be able to work independently and as part of a team
4. have an appreciation for Canadian books and writing
The SCFWA is strongly committed to equality, inclusion and diversity and we welcome applications from members of underrepresented communities.
How to Apply:
To apply, send a resume and cover letter to:
Marisa Alps, Artistic and Executive Director
Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts
marisa@writersfestival.ca
All submissions will be acknowledged, but only those candidates selected for an interview will receive a detailed response. Deadline for applications is Friday, March 28, 2025.
Remuneration:
