Program Facilitator

Description
The Canadian Centre for Men and Families Ottawa is looking for two individuals to run a new program called Survivors of False Allegations Co-ed or SOFA Co-ed. This new group offers a safe place for people of all genders to discuss their situations as well as to get support from their peers in the group who are currently going through false allegations or have been cleared of false allegations and are there to support the people just starting out in their journey.
This group is run bi-weekly on Wednesdays from 7:00-9:00 pm. Light administrative work will need to be done during the week but will amount to no more than 5 hrs every two weeks. More hours can be added if desired.
