Great place to work

well organized and looks after staff very well. As staff, you are valued by management and protected by them well. Was a pleasure to work for the city & would do it again in a heart beat.
Excellent Organization

Ve'ahavta is a solid organization with a tremendous work culture. It is humanitarian in its mission both outside the community and in the work place.
Employees are treated with respect at all times. There is a sense of family.
with solid governance and infrastructure in place, there is a sense of solidity and security.
There is not much opportunity for growth

Productive and Efficient
Swim Instructor/ Lifeguard (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 29 September 2017
A typical day at work involves me arriving at the pool site and signing in. I then prepare the deck for lessons to begin. The rest of my shifts consists of teaching swimming lessons and life guarding lane swim and recreational swim.
Great work environment depending on what type of camp .

Lifeguard and Swim Instructor (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 19 September 2017
A great way to get integrated within the city's system. You learn to work well with the public, and your team. It is an upbeat positive setting, and I reccomend working there.
I had my dream job at the Riverdale Farm
Program Designer/Instructor (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 19 September 2017
I was lucky to have been hired to be a Farm Attendant at the Parks and Recreation location of the Riverdale Farm in Toronto. I was required to use my own initiative to complete the tasks of a running farm, plus interact with the public in an engaging and education manner.
Can be an enjoyable experience if you are working with the right people.
Camp Location Coordinator (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 12 September 2017
I worked many part time jobs with the city. Therefore I worked with many different supervisors. There were some supervisors that made it a very enjoyable experience, but others would constantly criticize you without adding any compliments and these people made woking for the City very difficult
Lots of fun!

Great learning experience
Public Relations Intern (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 29 August 2017
I worked as an intern with the City of Toronto. It was a fantastic learning experience. I was never treated as lesser based on my role as an intern - in fact, I was given work that was on par with work that I hope to do in the work force. My co-workers were very helpful, friendly, and made me feel included in their team. Overall, my experience as an intern at the City was incredibly valuable - an all around great learning experience.
