The Gaia Project: Communications and Marketing Coordinator

The Gaia Project (“TGP”) is a New Brunswick-based charitable non-profit with the mission to empower youth to take action on climate change through education. For over 10 years, TGP has been providing in-class support to teachers across New Brunswick and the unceded territory of the Wabanaki peoples by delivering hands-on experiences that ignite student curiosity, enhance skill development, and provide meaningful and developmentally appropriate information related to the causes of and solutions to climate change.
The Gaia Project’s target audience has traditionally been teachers, but with the addition of new and innovative educational programming, the organization hopes to get more information and resources directly engaging youth. To do this TGP will hire an intern with specialization in communications and marketing. This individual will work very closely with both The Gaia Project and St Thomas University to implement exciting new strategies to steer the not-for-profit into brand new pathways for empowering youth. These new tools will include Youtube promotions, tiktok trends and sharing, new marketing campaigns and more not yet identified approaches. The intern will have the opportunity to influence thousands of youth with important messaging around sustainability and climate change education.
