Working here

North York Community House (NYCH) is a dynamic, award winning, neighbourhood centre that has been working with residents of northwest Toronto for over 30 years.

We are committed to building strong, vibrant communities, and supporting local residents, new Canadians, parents and children, youth and seniors, meet and achieve their goals. NYCH believes that all the community members we serve have the strength and ability to succeed – our role is to help them get there.

Situated on the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Wendat and Anishinaabe, NYCH is committed to equity and creating a respectful and inclusive work place culture that reflects the broad diversity of communities we work with. This includes immigrants, refugees, women, Indigenous and Black people, people of colour, people with disabilities, and those who are LGBTQ2S+.

NYCH is committed to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace, and will provide accommodation as required throughout the interview and employment process. If you require accommodation, please let us know in advance and we will work with you to meet your needs.

“My proudest achievement was that within 3 years of working as a Volunteer Coordinator, NYCH was accommodating up to 10-12 United Way Day of Care activities yearly. This was unprecedented.”

NYCH won OCASI Social Justice Award in 2018 for advancing and advocating for the immigrant-refugee-serving sector through cross-sectoral collaborations and innovative practices.
