Hello A***h, I’m J***e, an HR Recruiter at C***y. I came across your profile and was impressed by your JD studies at UBC, your work creating accessible wills toolkits at the S***C, and your leadership roles at UofT. We’re currently seeking a Policy and Advocacy Coordinator to conduct legal research, draft policy briefs, and coordinate outreach to diverse communities,tasks that align closely with your experience. Would you be interested in learning more about this opportunity? Looking forward to your thoughts.

Hi A***h, Great to hear you’re interested! At C***y, the P***m is a tight-knit group of policy analysts, legal researchers, community organizers and communications specialists. We work collaboratively,sharing insights, co-authoring briefs and strategizing outreach,to ensure our work truly meets community needs. In the Policy and Advocacy Coordinator role, you would: 1. Conduct targeted legal research and draft clear, concise policy briefs on issues impacting underserved populations,building directly on your S***C toolkit and research experience. 2. Coordinate with cross-functional colleagues (attorneys, researchers, communications) and external stakeholders to develop accessible resources: videos, handbooks, infographics, etc. 3. Lead our outreach and communications efforts, producing content tailored for diverse audiences (multilingual messaging, social media, community newsletters). 4. Support grant writing and reporting,helping secure and maintain crucial program funding by drafting proposals, tracking deliverables and preparing funder updates. 5. Assist in organizing and staffing legal literacy workshops and pop-up clinics in underrepresented communities, ensuring high-impact delivery. Why this role might excite you: • Impact & Growth: You’ll see your work go from research to real-world workshops, and we encourage coordinators to take on leadership of new initiatives. • Mentorship & Resources: Senior attorneys and seasoned advocates will mentor you, and we provide training on policy analysis, communications tools and community engagement best practices. • Mission-Driven Culture: Like your focus on trust and collaboration, we prioritize active listening and cross-disciplinary teamwork,your insights will help shape our strategic direction. Does this give you a clear picture of the team and responsibilities? I’d be happy to dive deeper into any area or discuss next steps. Looking forward to your thoughts!

Hi A***h, Great question. Our Policy and Advocacy Coordinator role follows a hybrid model designed to balance deep-focus work and in-person collaboration: • Remote days: You’ll have the flexibility to conduct legal research, draft policy briefs, and prepare communications materials from home,typically 2,3 days each week. • In-office days: We ask team members to join us at our d***e 2 days a week for planning sessions, brainstorming, mentoring meetings, and to coordinate in-person workshops or pop-up clinics. • Event-based flexibility: When we’re out in the community delivering clinics or hosting workshops, those days count toward your in-office requirement, and travel expenses are covered. We’ve found this rhythm supports productivity and strong team cohesion, while allowing you to work remotely on focused tasks. Would this setup fit with your needs, or are there specific considerations you’d like to discuss? Looking forward to your thoughts! J***e

Hi A***h, Absolutely,our two in-office days aren’t locked into specific weekdays. We do ask for a consistent rhythm for team planning (for example, “Mondays and Thursdays”), but you can swap or shift those days as needed to accommodate your JD exams, clinic placements, or other academic commitments. Just give your manager and team a heads-up in advance so we can adjust workshop schedules or meetings accordingly. Does that level of flexibility work for you? If so, we can discuss which core days might best fit your first term and revisit as your exam schedule evolves. Looking forward to your thoughts! Best, J***e

Hi A***h, Perfect,Mondays and Thursdays as your core in-office days sounds great. We’ll remain flexible and revisit once your JD exam and clinic schedule are set. Next, I’d like to arrange a 30-minute virtual conversation with our Policy and Advocacy Manager so you can learn more about the team’s current projects and we can discuss how your background aligns. Could you please share your availability next week (outside of your clinic hours), or would Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning work for you? Looking forward to this next step and to answering any other questions you have. Best, J***e

Hi A***h, Great,let’s plan for Tuesday at 2:30 PM. I’ll send a calendar invite shortly. You’ll be meeting with our Policy and Advocacy Manager, who leads the team’s legal research, policy drafting and community outreach efforts. Feel free to prepare any questions about our current projects or their strategic priorities. Looking forward to our conversation! Best, J***e
