About Us
ARIA Society is committed to serving the Iranian and Farsi-speaking immigrants, refugees, and women in our community. Through settlement assistance, language support, and cultural orientation, we aim to help newcomers understand their rights, access Canadian institutions, and establish themselves in a country they will one day call home. We also offer programming specifically for Iranian and Farsi-speaking women, designed to address the stark realities many have faced: sexual violence, domestic abuse, human rights violations, and systemic barriers to advancement in certain academic and professional domains. The need within the Iranian diaspora runs deep, but the response to it has so far been shallow. We are working hard to change that.

The Marketing Coordinator leads ARIA's marketing and promotional efforts, managing our social media accounts to maintain a consistent and engaging public presence. You'll create and schedule promotional content for our events, programs, and initiatives while helping with brand development. Your responsibilities include developing physical marketing materials such as flyers, posters, and handouts, ideally with proficiency in Canva or Adobe Photoshop. You'll play a key role in bringing ARIA's vision to life visually, with the flexibility to create marketing materials in both English and Farsi to reach our diverse community.
The Research Coordinator leads research and content development to support ARIA's educational initiatives. You'll gather relevant information, sources, and supporting materials for workshops, presentations, slide decks, and resources, then create slideshows and resource materials in English/Farsi. Your role is to ensure all content is accurate, relevant, well-organized, and tailored to your audience, while maintaining strong visual quality, flow, and overall presentation structure. You'll work closely with our President and Secretary, who provide final review and editing to ensure everything aligns with ARIA's standards and mission.
The Farsi-Fluent Presenter brings ARIA's mission and programs directly to the Iranian-Canadian community through public speaking and presentations. You'll represent ARIA at community events, workshops, and gatherings, sharing information about our services, resources, and initiatives in Farsi. As a bridge between ARIA and our community, you'll help welcome newcomers, answer questions, and foster connection, ensuring that Farsi-speaking members feel welcomed and informed about the support available to them through ARIA.NOTES: This role requires native Farsi proficiency. The role will require in-person attendance for Society events across Vancouver.
The Fundraising Coordinator leads ARIA's efforts to secure funding for our programs, events, and community initiatives. You'll plan and execute fundraising activities with a focus on building meaningful relationships with donors, while partnering with our Director of Communications to identify opportunities in donations, sponsorships, partnerships, grants, and campaigns. Working alongside the Treasurer and Board, you'll research grant opportunities, write and submit proposals, and maintain ongoing relationships with funding agencies—ensuring all efforts align with ARIA's mission and financial needs.
