About the Ottawa Youth Service Year Program

The Ottawa Youth Service Year (OYSY) is a paid, structured 8-month service year for recent high school graduates aged 17–19, launching in September 2026. OYSY connects young Ottawans with full-time placements at local nonprofits, equipping them with hands-on professional experience, new skills, and a guaranteed post-secondary education award upon successful completion.

Founded by the Honourable Dalton McGuinty and funded by The Rideau Hall Foundation, OYSY is designed to expand access to meaningful opportunities for youth across Ottawa — particularly those from underserved communities. Volunteer Ottawa serves as the backbone organization for this pilot, with 26 youth selected for the inaugural cohort.

About the Role

Volunteer Ottawa is seeking a dynamic, people-centred Youth Program Specialist to lead the day-to-day delivery of OYSY. This is a hands-on leadership role responsible for managing the youth participant experience, coordinating with host nonprofit organizations, delivering training and coaching, and ensuring the program meets its quality and reporting standards.

The Youth Program Specialist will also provide direct guidance to the Program Coordinator and play a central role in making this pilot a success. If you are passionate about youth development, experienced in program coordination, and thrive in collaborative, community-driven environments, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Program Coordination & Delivery

Lead the recruitment, screening, and selection process for OYSY participants in collaboration with partners
Oversee the onboarding of youth participants and host nonprofit organizations
Manage participant-to-placement matching, ensuring alignment with organizational needs and individual participant goals
Monitor participant progress throughout the program through regular coaching and check-ins
Coordinate and deliver training sessions and learning modules for the youth cohort

Stakeholder & Partner Relations

Serve as the primary point of contact for host nonprofit organizations
Build and maintain relationships with post-secondary partners, school board liaisons, and community stakeholders
Facilitate clear, ongoing communication between youth participants, host organizations, and Volunteer Ottawa staff

Quality Assurance & Reporting

Track and document program outcomes, participant milestones, and placement performance
Prepare program reports for leadership and funders, including The Rideau Hall Foundation
Proactively identify program challenges and recommend solutions
Supervise and provide mentorship to the Program Coordinator

Qualifications

Required

2+ years of experience in program coordination, case management, or a related field
Demonstrated experience working with youth, particularly those from equity-deserving communities
Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
Experience working in or with the nonprofit sector
Proven ability to build and maintain relationships with diverse stakeholders

Preferred

Access to a vehicle (Mileage reimbursed)
Bilingualism in English and French is a strong asset
Familiarity with volunteer management software or similar platforms
Experience coordinating service-learning, gap year, or workforce development programs
Social media and marketing experience
Knowledge of Ottawa's nonprofit and community services landscape

What We Offer

A meaningful role contributing to a first-of-its-kind youth service program in Ottawa
A collaborative, mission-driven team environment
Hybrid work flexibility, with a primarily in-person and community-based presence required
Competitive nonprofit salary commensurate with experience, including health and dental benefits
The opportunity to help shape the future of youth civic engagement in the capital
