Jamie McIntosh serves as the Executive Director of International Justice Mission Canada. IJM is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems. As director of IJM's Canadian affiliate, Mr. McIntosh meets with government officials, justice professionals, and business and religious leaders to advance the cause of the oppressed. Mr. McIntosh regularly leads teams of lawyers and investigators on international intervention efforts, provides counsel and support to IJM staff overseas, and speaks at universities, churches, police training events and other venues on behalf of victims of abuse.

During recent deployments Mr. McIntosh assisted in securing the release of families from slave labor and participated in investigative operations leading to the rescue of forced child prostitutes. His most recent travels have taken him to Africa to gather documentary footage on torture, police misconduct and violent property grabbing, and to Latin America to conduct groundwork for a new field office.

Prior to establishing IJM Canada in 2002, Mr. McIntosh worked for four years with an international relief and development agency as an advocate for children at risk. An ordained minister, Mr. McIntosh has also served as a pastor in two churches in California. After commencing undergraduate studies at the University of Western Ontario in London, Mr. McIntosh earned a Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Studies from North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, MN. He also received advanced leadership training through Genesis Fellowship in Northern California, and through Executive Arrow, an executive leadership program for nonprofits pioneered by Dr. Leighton Ford.
