CANADA SUMMER JOBS - Marketing Coordinator (Fashion Marketing Assistant)

Double Take Thrift Store is a Yonge Street Mission social enterprise that works to support the community through circular fashion. The store collects donations and processes each piece with an effort to both raise money for YSM programs while keeping textile waste out of landfills. Higher value items are sold online, while more affordable goods make sustainable fashion accessible to more people through our bricks and mortar shop at Parliament and Gerrard. Textiles that can't be sold as-is are reimagined into upcycled fashions and used for lending workshops. Our team of staff and volunteers work to make sure we are making the most of every donation to make a positive impact on our community!

Double Take is seeking a part-time temporary Marketing Coordinator (Fashion Marketing Assistant) (8 weeks for 35 hours a week).
