To Apply

We believe that bad behavior on the part of some organizations disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society, including Indigenous people, other people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQIA2S+ people. Because we believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.

Positions are open until filled, with application review beginning November 1, 2024.
