Moving On… A Quick Guide for Nonprofit Workers in Career Transition

The Counselling Foundation of Canada supported the creation of this resource for nonprofit workers in Ontario who are experiencing a career transition to help them navigate what can be an uncertain time in their life. The nonprofit sector is diverse and strong and there is great potential for those interested in continuing to work in the sector whether they be arts, social services, environment, employment, or other organizations.

This resource was written by Yvonne Rodney, a career development practitioner, author, playwright, theatre director, and women’s leader among other roles. It was also supported by the Ontario Nonprofit Network who offered advice throughout the process.

Losing a job, whether it’s due to funding cuts or other reasons, is never easy. It is our hope that in “Moving On…” readers will find tips to help them navigate through the job transition process.

The Counselling Foundation of Canada is proud to support CERIC and its programs:

The Counselling Foundation of Canada acknowledges the Huron-Wendat, Petun, Haundenosaunee, Anishinaabe and Mississauga Anishinaabe of New Credit share a special relationship to the territory in which our office is located. Toronto’s long history of being a meeting place and centre of trade & commerce began thousands of years ago. Today, it is home to Indigenous Peoples from across Turtle Island and many who have come from away. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work in this territory and commit ourselves to learning the truth of our shared history and to engage in the process of reconciliation.
