About Us

Future of Engagement (FoE) is a non-profit organization with a start-up mindset and the goal of making our democracy work for all communities in Canada. FoE leverages technology and data analysis to engage marginalized and underrepresented communities in all aspects of Canada's politics.

• Informing communities about political processes and services
• Bringing together volunteers with diverse personal and professional backgrounds to develop resources for underrepresented communities
• Developing tools that help community leaders set up strategic campaigns, mobilize supporters, and promote their agendas

As a Campaign Partnership Specialist, you'll identify promising municipal candidates and make the case for why partnering with FoE can strengthen their campaign. This isn't just outreach — you'll pitch, present, and work to turn interest into real partnerships. Working alongside the Program Director and senior staff, you'll carry conversations from first contact to committed partner, then help coordinate the campaign activities that follow. By the end of the summer, you'll have hands-on experience in civic outreach, persuasive presentation, and grassroots campaign coordination.

• Meet with candidates, present FoE's offer, and build toward a committed partnership with support from senior staff
• Build and maintain relationships with community organizations, cultural associations, and local groups to spark interest in co-organizing events
• Help plan and coordinate local campaign events, from early logistics to day-of execution
• Keep outreach notes, records, and follow-ups organized and up to date
• Report regularly to the Program Director on outreach activity and partnership progress

Key skills and abilities

• Comfortable presenting one-on-one or in small groups, and able to field questions on the spot
• Strong verbal and written communication with a focus on clear, persuasive messaging
• At ease starting conversations and building relationships across political, cultural, and community lines
• Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage outreach, follow-ups, and meeting notes
