Join our Childcare Project Advisory Committee

/

YWCA is seeking Project Advisory Committee (PAC) members to inform and guide our WAGE funded project, intended to address the lack of access to and equity in the childcare system in NL with a goal of increasing access to economic security for women and gender-diverse people. The PAC will meet monthly between January 2025 and March 2026, for up to a maximum of 3 hours each meeting, with meetings taking place in a virtual/hybrid format. Participants will receive an honorarium of $75 per meeting attended. PAC members will inform the project by helping to identify gaps and barriers in childcare access and providing ongoing feedback regarding the project. 

If there are barriers to participation (childcare, transportation, or access to technology) please let us know so we can discuss options.

This opportunity is open to women and gender-diverse folks who are parents, guardians, or caregivers to children and are residing in Newfoundland and Labrador. We are seeking representation from all regions of the province and will ensure there are members from the Eastern, Central, Western, and Labrador-Grenfell regions.

To ensure that PAC is representative of those facing additional barriers to childcare, we are seeking folks who identify as a:

  • low-income earner

  • Im/Migrant

  • Refugee

  • Person living with a Disability

  • Indigenous

  • Racialized

  • Single Parent

  • Young Parent (under the age of 20)
