For the last 13 years, Outreach Services Manager Massi Moosavi has been collaborating with S.U.C.C.E.S.S. at our Surrey office, providing information at the front desk, supporting the Farsi-speaking community with her language skills and assisting management. Whatever she is doing, Massi’s work has always been driven by meeting people and implementing new programs.
Back in her home country of Iran, Massi was an accountant, however, once she immigrated to Canada she needed local work experience, so she began working in retail. One day, a friend who worked at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. invited her to join the community, and here she is 13 years later working where she “gets paid to learn,” as she says.
She values the opportunity to work with a team changing people’s lives, serving all peoples regardless of their choices, gender, religion or cultural background. “Every day we expand ourselves,” she says, adding it makes her feel proud to work at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. “At the end of the day when I go home, my body might be tired but my mind is free.”
If you’d like to work in a place where your language skills add value to what you do while working with talented colleagues who care about human rights and learning from the community you serve, there is a place for you at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. As Massi says: “from the bottom of my heart, this is true.”
