A bachelor’s degree in any field — we’re curious about your thinking, not just your major. Backgrounds in education, business, design, or policy are a plus.

Project-juggler pro. You’re organized, thrive on to-do lists, and can manage multiple projects without dropping the ball.

People-whisperer. Whether it's anchoring a session or writing an email to a partner org, you know how to connect, listen, and communicate with clarity and warmth.

System-builder. You bring structure to chaos. You set goals, build timelines, and follow through with sharp execution.

Data + documentation nerd (in the best way). You believe well-organized spreadsheets and clear notes make the world go round. Data hygiene is your thing.
