About CPAWS Yukon
Based in Whitehorse on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council, CPAWS Yukon aims to conserve the Yukon’s ecologically and culturally important lands and waters for all. We advocate for protection of wild spaces in a manner grounded in respect for both traditional knowledge and western science and believe that this can only be achieved through collaboration and reconciliation with the Indigenous peoples of this land. We represent the views of many Yukoners who want the Yukon to be an example of how people can live well with the natural world that we depend upon. CPAWS Yukon aims to work “in a good way” that recognizes the agency that First Nations and Indigenous People have in being key decision makers and stewards of the land and water.

Working with CPAWS Yukon means you have the amazing opportunity to live, work, and grow in one of the most beautiful places in Canada, while working with a committed and passionate team of environmental advocates. You’ll be respected for your unique contributions and supported in your unique needs. Our office is in a bright, modern space in downtown Whitehorse next to a city park and close to the Yukon River. This welcoming place is dog-friendly, accessible, and includes a kitchenette and bike storage. We offer the flexibility to work from home or adjust your work schedule when needed, which means work and personal life can find a balance.

We encourage and welcome applications from all individuals who share our belief in ensuring the rich wildlife and diverse landscapes of Yukon receive the protection they deserve.
