Who We’re Looking For

Be Yourself: Be the best version of your whole self. Your authenticity matters.
Be Bold: Bravely and respectfully take risks and challenge the norm.
Have a Growth Mindset: Be open to learning and apply your expertise.
Be the Difference: Ensure that every interaction with your colleagues, clients and community improves their lives.
Assume Positive Intent: Lead with giving the benefit of the doubt.
