Come join the CASDSM Team!
The Children’s Aid Society of the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin (CASDSM) is focused on promoting the best interests, protection, and well-being of children and youth. We work with parents, family members, and community organizations to promote and support families to keep children and youth safe.

We are committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in our workplace and our community.

Everyone is equally responsible to voice and empower change, to own and acknowledge decisions, actions and inactions while recognizing our collective commitment to living the values with each other, the families, children and youth we service and our community as a whole.
