A Great Place to Contribute

Employees, interns, and volunteers are essential to fulfilling Habitot’s mission to nurture and enrich the lives of young children, families, and the community. We are eager to meet individuals who have a passion for this work.

Habitot is a great opportunity for people who can embrace the challenge of helping grow a small and nimble organization into a hub for diverse communities. We know that great employees arrive with skills different than those listed in job descriptions, and we welcome applications from candidates who have not yet had the opportunity to learn every skill that makes them the “ideal candidate.” We consider people with experience (both paid and unpaid).

Here are some words and phrases that might describe you: creative, curious, confident, adaptable, collaborative, organized, self-directed, strategic, community-minded, excellent communicator, good with people, and able to stay (mostly) positive when faced with multiple deadlines.
