WHY WISH:
Do you believe that everyone should have access to opportunities to make free, healthy and positive choices? Do you feel passionate about improving the health, safety and well-being of women and gender-diverse folks who are involved in Vancouver’s street-based sex trade?
Then come join the team at WISH! Our dynamic and fast-growing team continues to grow so come work at 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.” – WISH Staff

Every woman should have access to opportunities to make free, healthy and positive choices
