Come Join Us!
At Active Lives Canada, the strength of our programs begins with the people who bring them to life each day. Our team is made up of dedicated professionals, including Personal Support Workers (PSWs), Child and Youth Workers (CYWs), Early Childhood Educators (ECEs), Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs), and staff with a wide range of additional training and experience in developmental services, behavioural support, recreation, and community-based care. Together, they create an environment where participants are supported with both skill and genuine compassion. What makes Active Lives meaningful is the culture of care, respect, and purpose that guides everything we do. Our staff are not only qualified, but they are deeply committed to building connections, celebrating progress, and helping individuals thrive with dignity and confidence. It is a workplace rooted in heart, teamwork, and impact, where every day is an opportunity to be part of something that truly matters.
How We Make A Difference
At Active Lives Canada, the impact of this work is something you feel in your chest. There are moments that change you, like watching a participant communicate a thought for the very first time through an iPad and assistive technology, seeing the pride in their eyes when they realize they have been understood. These are not everyday moments in most workplaces, but here, they happen because of patience, trust, and a team that truly believes in what is possible.This is also a place where connection goes far beyond words. You might witness a camper try something new for the first time, or build confidence through music, movement, routine, or shared presence. Some of the most meaningful breakthroughs come quietly: a smile, a new step forward, a bond formed without needing speech at all. At Active Lives Canada, being part of the team means being part of something deeply human, where your care matters, your presence matters, and the difference you make will stay with you long after the day ends.
Career Growth within Our Organization
At Active Lives Canada, our camp programs offer an unforgettable opportunity for counsellors, summer staff, and students to be part of something meaningful. Each summer, we welcome high school and university students who are eager to learn, grow, and make a real difference in the lives of children and youth. Camp is filled with laughter, adventure, friendship, and life-changing moments, and our staff walk away with memories, skills, and a sense of purpose that stays with them long after the summer ends. Our Respite program is a unique environment built on care, comfort, and trust. We are always looking for dedicated professionals such as PSWs, CYWs, and RPNs who want to provide meaningful support to individuals and families. Working in respite means being part of a team that creates safety, stability, and belonging, offering participants a home-like space where they can feel respected, supported, and truly at ease. In our day program campuses, we seek passionate staff from backgrounds such as CYW, PSW, and other human service fields who want to empower adults with neurodiversity through engaging daily programming, community involvement, and skill-building opportunities. This is work that is deeply relational and deeply rewarding, where you help individuals thrive, celebrate progress, and build a more inclusive community every single day. At Active Lives Canada, every role is an opportunity to be part of something that matters.
