Dogwood is an independent, non-partisan, non-profit organization working in the unceded Indigenous territories known as British Columbia.
Dogwood brings people together to transform our democracy, uphold Indigenous rights and defend the climate, land and water that sustain life in B.C. With our allies, we work to break free from fossil fuels, supercharge decarbonization, and counter corporate influence on our democracy and rising right-wing narratives. All of this work takes place on unceded, stolen Indigenous territories amidst ongoing colonial violence, racial injustices and profound wealth inequalities. Thus, Dogwood will contribute, always, to the generations-long project of repairing the injustices of colonialism and dismantling systems of oppression.
We currently have 16 staff members, sustaining a network of over 100,000 supporters and anchoring volunteer teams in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.
Dogwood strives to reflect its values in the workplace. The organization is led by an Executive Team of four people. In this collaborative leadership arrangement, each Director has a core area of responsibility and shares executive responsibility for managing the organization’s strategy, structure, culture, finances and legal obligations. Non-executive staff at Dogwood are unionized with the B.C. General Employees Union (BCGEU).
We currently have an opening for the Director of People, Culture and Impact on Dogwood’s Executive Team.
