CLOSING DATE: September 16, 2021

BACKGROUND:

Right To Play is a global organisation that protects, educates and empowers children to rise above adversity using play.

We are the only global development organization focused exclusively on using play to transform the lives of children and youth impacted by poverty, war, disease and inequality.

Established in 2000, Right To Play is headquartered in Toronto, Canada and has operations in 22 countries across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

With a shared passion for our mission, our Culture Code guides how we act and interact based on five core pillars:

• Accept Everyone – Be intentional about inclusion

Job Description

In partnership with the Olympic Refuge Foundation, the donor for its Advancing Cohesion in Communities through Engagement in Structured Sports (ACCESS) project, Right To Play is conducting the implementation of program activities. For the purposes of transparency and monitoring and evaluation, all activities which are implemented in the field need to be documented using photograph evidence. This evidence will be gathered, processed, and delivered to project staff, who will then upload the content to Right To Play’s reporting system.

7. Work according to the timeline agreed with Right To Play.
8. Perform other duties as assigned.
