Internship Opportunity
Thank you for your interest in our internship opportunities.
Since its formation in 2017, The Society of We Are Canadians Too has co-organized cultural arts events that share and celebrate the diversity of perspectives in Vancouver. All events led by SWACT are approached with the purposes to advance the public’s appreciation of visual and performing arts, create events that present the works of artists, and provide a forum for artists to reach the community. Such events include: Celebrate the Accents, LunarFest, and The Lantern City.
We are seeking highly passionate and like-minded individuals to join us. This is a great opportunity for interested students to utilize their education and training in a real-world application with real content and deadlines in many aspects.
These are remote positions until it is suitable to return to the office in BC.
