We’re hiring for management, coordination and admin roles!

Please note: Applications are now closed.

2025 is our biggest year yet. This spring, Refugee 613 became an independent non-profit and secured significant investments in our work for the next several years, and this fall, we’ll celebrate our 10th anniversary. We’ve come a long way since our launch in 2015 as a small organization helping Ottawa respond to the arrival of refugees from Syria and elsewhere. 

We’ve dreamed big, imagining an organization dedicated to making settlement information more accessible to refugees in Ottawa and across Canada. We’ve worked hard, building our expertise,  creating a caring work environment and becoming Canada’s leader in migration communications. 

Now, each of our projects is scaling up, and we’re looking for talented people to join our team and work with us during this exciting time in our history. 

The positions listed below are management, coordination and administrative roles. Each of them will help to increase Refugee 613’s ability to connect refugees and the people welcoming them with essential information and services.
