Want to make an impact on the lives and work of underrepresented game developers and founders in Canada?
We are on a mission to advance cooperative and worker-centric labour models in the Canadian video game industry. Join our Peer Support Program and help us build a more equitable future for everyone.
Compensation
We compensate our Peer Supports for their time and expertise at a rate of $40 per hour.
Time Commitment
Being a Peer Support for a Baby Ghosts Peer Accelerator cohort is a significant commitment of about 100 hours. Here’s what you can expect:
- Planning meetings, application reviews, and interviews
- Weekly studio sessions, workshops, and presentations
- Monthly checkins and debriefs with the Baby Ghosts team
- Hanging out with the cohort on Slack and joining social activities
What is a Peer Support?
Being a Peer Support for a Baby Ghosts Peer Accelerator cohort is different than being a “mentor.” We’re not expecting you to have all the answers, but to work with teams using Baby Ghosts’ guidance and materials to support them in studio development. We don’t teach game development, although we love having supports who understand game dev. We’re looking for applicants who are interested in cooperative and worker-centric worker models.
We’re looking for folks who are able to contribute time, have a values-driven approach to sharing knowledge, and have strong interpersonal skills.

The best place to learn more about what it means to be a Peer Support is our Peer Support Program manual.
Not sure if you can commit to this level of involvement? That’s ok! We’re always looking for folks who can contribute in other ways. If you’re interested in helping out, get in touch.
