Then come join the team at WISH, the largest organization in Canada supporting street-based sex workers.
“It’s easy to see how our work impacts the folks who rely on WISH – it sounds cliché but the work that we do really matters, and we make a difference. I don’t think I’ve ever worked with such a dedicated, hard-working, and diverse group of colleagues.”
