(ie. a Parent, Father or caregiver who has had children removed from their home. People who became a foster parent for a relative in order to prevent them from being placed with strangers. A family member/relative who lost contact with a child/children as a result of foster care/adoption/out of home placement.) 

Note: As much as we appreciate people who choose to engage with the foster care system as a foster parent and/or an adoptive parent by choice (Thank you! We appreciate you!), we intentionally do NOT consider that to be included in our lens on “lived experience” because of the power differential. We’re committed to centering people most impacted by power imbalances in the system. We would consider your experience to be adjacent to “lived experience”. 

● Flexible working hours with hybrid work arrangements. 

● Professional development opportunities and training. 

● Opportunities to participate in community service initiatives.

Note: We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply, even if you do not meet all the preferred qualifications.
