The Role
The NGM Alliance (NGMA) Coordinator is the primary support for NGMA — a thriving Discord community for boys and masculine-identifying youth aged 13-17. NGMA is organized around our Systems of Care framework including 4 interconnected systems of: Safety, Engagement, Connection, and Empowerment. These organize how we build and sustain community online and shape everything this role does. This role reports to the Manager of Youth Programs and Partnerships.
Create safety in the community
This role is the first point of contact for youth joining NGMA. It owns the onboarding process and ensures the community’s policies (Code of Conduct, Privacy Policy, Confidentiality, and Scope of Practice) and safeguards are applied with confidence. This role acts as an integral part of the staff team that safeguards youth within the community.
You’ll:
Support outreach and screen new youth signing up to the server
Onboard new members and manage their introduction into the community
Moderate the community, responding to built-in system safeguards with a relational, strength-based approach
Connect youth with mental health resources and referrals when required
Drive engagement
NGMA is only as good as what’s happening inside it. This role brings young people into events and keeps them coming back.
You’ll:
Plan and run gaming events — D&D, Minecraft, Fortnite, and more
Run non-gaming events like trivia and movie nights
Create the kind of energy that gets members talking, participating, and returning
Support the broader team in scheduling and promoting events within NGMA
Be the main messenger to the community, posting monthly announcements and sharing opportunities with the NGMA community
Occasionally host in-person events with NGMA members
Build connection
Relationships are at the centre of this work. This role facilitates conversations, shows up consistently for young people, and handles the harder moments with care.
You’ll:
Moderate conversations and manage conflict when it comes up
Hold strength-based conversations (1:1 and in member wide channels) building trust and genuine relationships with youth
Lead a smaller group of members within the broader community — run events for the group, drive engagement in their dedicated channel, and host monthly tournaments between groups
Engage with mental health topics as they arise naturally in the community
Support empowerment
This role gives young people a real voice in NGMA and supports them as they grow beyond it.
You’ll:
Help facilitate and run the Youth Advisory Council
Support graduating members in transitioning to the NGMA alumni server and keep that space active
Track weekly stats and engagement metrics to support program reporting
NGMA operates within our Youth Lab team and this role will also support related projects and initiatives, such as the NGM Streamer Academy, NGM Esports and/or the Rites of Passage Expeditions summer programming.
Who you are
Live in online spaces
You spend a lot of time online — gaming, Discord, the humour and culture that comes with it. You’re already active in these communities and know how they work. You use internet humour and youth slang as a natural part of how you communicate with young people. You are passionate about digital well-being and want to be part of positive community building with young people.
You can build and run Discord events that boys actually want to show up to. And when conversations drift into complicated territory — identity, politics, the dynamics that come up in any space where young men gather — you know how to handle that without losing the room.
Work well with young people
You have real experience working with young people — in person, online, or both. You know how to walk into a room, or a server, and get young people engaged and keep them there. Facilitation is something you're good at and genuinely enjoy. Child safety is a number one priority, and you understand what responsible practice looks like when working with youth.
Care about boys and young men
You’re genuinely interested in how gender and masculinity shape adolescence. You understand the connection between the wellbeing of boys/young men and mental health, and it’s central to why this work matters to you. You understand that gaming is how we reach young people, and you’re actively engaged (or have been) in gaming spaces. You’re comfortable having meaningful, and sometimes challenging, conversations with boys while you’re in those spaces with them.
You’re fun, engaging, and the kind of person young people gravitate toward. You:
Show up consistently and can work independently
Bring genuine energy and enthusiasm to the work
Are empathetic, open minded, and non-judgmental — especially when identity-focused topics come up
Try new things, learn from what doesn’t work, and move forward
Stay organized and manage time well across multiple things at once
Are the kind of person young people turn to for advice
Skills
Strength-based facilitation and program delivery with young people
Community moderation and conflict management
Active in gaming spaces and fluent in Discord as a community platform
Knowledge of child safety standards and duty to report
Data tracking and basic reporting
Strong written communication across online platforms
Nice-to-haves:
Education or equivalent experience in social work, psychology, youth work, or related fields
Experience in the nonprofit or social impact sector
Familiarity with gender equity, positive masculinities, or pro-feminist movements
Based in the Pacific or Mountain timezone
