We are a diverse group of people who come to this work from all walks of life. Some of us have many years’ experience working in social services; others come to this work bringing skills they gained through lived experiences or learned working in other sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, or community organizing.
The cultural and educational backgrounds and lived experiences of our staff add depth to our work and breadth to each of our teams. Our strength comes from our collective desire to utilize skills from across the community to serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence.
We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce that represents the communities we serve. People with various work histories and lived experiences are encouraged to apply. Women, people of color, LGBTQ+, older adults, and people with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.
