We would like students to help us establish a public presence aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. Thrive 263 was created as a vehicle to support women of Zimbabwean heritage living in Canada to increase their participation in the Canadian economy. Thrive 263 catalyzes the financial inclusion of women through collective investment initiatives. Thrive is seeking to create digital presence by sharing their journey through an informational website, social media and other internal communications tools. We are looking to create a strategic communications plan that will raise profile, provide timely information and position for establishment of strategic relationships. You will be working on content creation for our organization, including updating website, content creation, social media, and other collateral that we can use as go-to communications tools.
