About Our Opportunity
This opportunity is for individuals who are passionate about supporting the development of children and youth in a community-based program in Dartmouth, NS. While the program is based in Dartmouth, NS, the services for the children will be an extension of Wood Street Campus Long Term Treatment program (WSC) in Truro, NS.
