Join our team
Our team philosophy
Our team’s goal is to imagine and create a workplace environment where everyone can thrive. We believe that when work works for everyone, it increases an individual’s productivity, mental health, and creates an overall equitable workplace for all. And there is a ripple effect: communities, companies, the economy, and our democracy, thrive. We are a mission-driven, passionate team of innovators, coaches, operators, and creatives determined to make a difference in the lives of underrepresented workers. If this sounds like you, join our team!
We’re committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion
It’s part of our mission. We can only achieve that mission—to create healthy, equitable workplaces—if we start with our’s first. We’re committed to diversity in every part of our organization, from our volunteers to our staff to our advisors, board, and leadership. We are always learning and working to do better.
We especially encourage people of color, women, first generation to join an industry or pursue higher education, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community to apply.
We’re remote friendly (and first)
While our organization started in San Francisco, CA, our team is remote and distributed. Our volunteers in particular are not only across the United States, but across the world. We work hard to make sure everyone feels engaged, included, and heard.
