About Ally Global Foundation

At Ally, we protect childhood.

Every day, in every country, sex traffickers find new ways to exploit people, on screens and in person.

One in three victims is a child.

When sex trafficking and exploitation try to take childhood away, we rally everyone, and everything needed to protect it.

Whether it’s research, prevention, aftercare or education—around the world or around the corner—we do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes.

Because every child deserves a childhood.

And every childhood deserves an ally.

Job Summary

As the Alberta Outreach Coordinator for Makwa Dodem you will lead the expansion and delivery of our community-led prevention programming across Alberta. You’ll be the primary point of contact for Indigenous partner communities —building trust, facilitating discussions, and coordinating delivery of prevention training workshops both in person and online.

You’re relational, culturally rooted, and confident in engaging with Indigenous Elders, youth, service providers, and leaders. You understand that deep listening, cultural protocol, and consistent presence are essential for building trust.

You bring integrity, care, and creativity to everything you do, from delivering trauma-informed programming to supporting community vision. You know that ethical storytelling matters, and that every conversation and resource must honour survivors.

You’re grounded in an understanding of how colonization has shaped the realities of trafficking in Canada. And you believe that real solutions come from within communities—led by their strengths, their timelines, and their wisdom.

You’ll work collaboratively with the Ally team to ensure our prevention programming remains responsive, ethical, and deeply respectful of each community’s unique context.
