About Us

Monthly Dignity is a non-profit organization working to address the causes and consequences of period poverty.

Job Summary

Our educational programming seeks to make inclusive and comprehensive menstrual health and period poverty education accessible to everyone, with the ultimate goal of making period poverty and shame and silence around menstruation a thing of the past. Sound like a mission you can get behind? Consider joining our team!

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Education and Outreach Program Coordinator to lead our educational initiatives, expand community engagement, and strengthen educational partnerships. 

The Education and Outreach Program Coordinator’s primary role will be to deliver in-person and virtual workshops (EN/FR) to schools, community centres, and grassroots non-profit organizations. Our workshops include Period Basics, Sustainable Menstruation, Talking to Kids About Periods, Degendering Menstruation, Pain & Disorders, and Menopause. We also constantly work to revise and improve the workshops we deliver. Workshop planning and delivery requires being creative, engaging, and able to handle a variety of audiences with patience and enthusiasm.

This role will also entail outreach to local school boards and non-profit organizations in order to book new and recurring workshops on an ongoing basis. This will entail managing our education email inbox and making phone calls to partner organizations, maintaining detailed contact logs, and building relationships with our community partners to ensure ongoing engagement.

Finally, the Education and Outreach Coordinator will, on a once- or twice-monthly basis, help with period product donation drives. This entails going to our storage unit to pick up period products and delivering them to community partners across this city. This part of the role is essential to our mission of alleviating period poverty across the city. 

This position builds on educational programming established as part of the Menstrual Equity Fund Pilot, administered through Food Banks Canada.

Hybrid Work Arrangement

Note that this is a hybrid position based in Montréal. The Monthly Dignity team co-works at a shared office space 2 days a week. This role additionally requires being in-person at workshops, between 2-3 times per week across the greater Montreal area. Ultimately, you can expect about 50-60% of your time to be remote, and the rest to be in-person (either in the office or at workshops).

Our office space is at the ECTO Coworking Cooperative, located at 936 Mont-Royal Ave E.

General working hours are between 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. However, occasional evenings and weekends are required for workshops and events. We generally try to minimize evening commitments to once in a given week, though many weeks there are no evening workshops at all. Weekend workshops and events are rare, and will likely only occur once every couple of months.

Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement

At Monthly Dignity, we are committed to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of our work. As a feminist menstrual equity organization, we recognize that systemic barriers impact access to menstrual health, and we strive to create programs and workplaces that are inclusive, affirming, and accessible to all.

We value the diverse experiences and perspectives of our team and the communities we serve. We strongly encourage applications from individuals who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC); 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals; people with disabilities; people with lived experience of menstrual inequity; and those from other historically marginalized communities.

We are dedicated to creating a workplace where all employees feel respected, supported, and empowered. If you require accommodations during the application process or in your role, we welcome and encourage you to reach out.

Menstrual equity is for everyone, and we believe our team should reflect the diversity of the movement we are building. If you’re passionate about our mission but don’t meet every qualification listed in the job posting, we still encourage you to apply—we value lived experience and transferable skills.
