The RPT, funded by Ontario Health East, is a coalition of community members and service providers working to improve Two Spirit, trans, non-binary, intersex, and gender diverse health in and around Ottawa. We are currently looking for 3 new community members to join the table and help us improve trans health and trans health services in the region.

  • The RPT meets virtually, once a month, for 2-3 hour meetings
  • All community members receive $25/hour for up to 15 hours a month

 

Interested?

Please fill out the application form below by Wednesday, November 15th to tell us a bit about yourself and why you’d like to join the RPT. 

Once you submit your application, the RPT will review and the RPT’s system planner, Wisdom2Action will reach out to you regarding your application! 

*Note: In the past, we have recruited for the RPT by requesting folks email us their expression of interest. This was done to keep the barriers to applying as low as possible. Recently, we have been receiving spam responses when taking this approach. While we recognize that an online form takes a bit more time on your end, the form helps us keep track of applications and ensure that your application doesn’t get lost amongst the spam! We’ve done our best to keep the form short and sweet, thank you for your understanding.

If you do have any questions or run into any challenges with the form, please reach out to the RPT at rpt@familyservicesottawa.org!
