These jobs directly support a small not-for-profit organization, the Yukon Federation of Labour Business Association, in their work supporting vulnerable workers in the Yukon Territory.

There will also be creative opportunities for the student to combine history, arts and entertainment in the many public engagement opportunities throughout the summer on labour history and current issues.
