Strategic Projects & Operations Coordinator

Who We Are

Mokami is a feminist, trauma‑informed, and decolonizing organization rooted in Happy Valley–Goose Bay. We support women, gender‑diverse people, and families through advocacy, programming, and community connection. Our work is grounded in values of care, choice, trust, belonging, and safety, and we honour lived experience as expertise.

We are a small, passionate team in a period of meaningful growth. As our community evolves, so does our work. We are looking for someone who can grow with us, someone who is flexible, curious, grounded, and committed to community wellbeing.

Applicants must live in Happy Valley–Goose Bay or be willing to relocate.
