Intended job posting audience

Anyone who can legally work in Canada can apply for this job. If you are not currently authorized to work in Canada, the employer will not consider your job application.

Hiring preference will be provided to those who identify as Indigenous.

Are you comfortable with numbers, formulas and ‘real-world math’? Do you have a background and success in understanding intermediate mathematics? Do you help your peers, siblings or others with math? Our Math Advocates do and we are seeking additional members to join our math team! We are interested in hearing from prospective employees in both Whitehorse and the Yukon communities.

Math Advocates work to help Indigenous students succeed in mathematics by transforming numeracy skills, attitudes and understanding. We tutor in one-to-one and small-group situations, and facilitate the learning of math in fun, ‘real time’ practical ways.

You will enjoy creating and delivering math activities in various settings, including land-based and indoor classrooms, and work to make the practical concepts and application of mathematics for career and daily living relevant to the learner. Think measurements for baking, angles for building structures, financial literacy, physics related to falling a tree or framing wall tents, for example.

We are seeking individuals who are able to work successfully with those who may be struggling with understanding the foundations and concepts of math. You will have the ability to support learners at varying levels, and be able to break down various math concepts for greater understanding.

Competence with technology is necessary. Candidates require a strong knowledge of Yukon First Nations worldview, and the ability to provide youth with some of the tools necessary to fulfil their goals for self-determination, to have financial literacy and assist them with future employment goals. Your ability to travel to rural Yukon communities is an asset.
