Candidates from Underrepresented Groups Encouraged to Apply:

Research shows that qualified individuals who identity as women, black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. PLAN welcomes and encourages all individuals who meet the “Required Qualifications” to apply if they believe they have the skills necessary to thrive in this role even if they do not have all of the “Desired Qualifications.”

In keeping with our organizational values, which include centering immigrant voices, we particularly encourage applications from those whose identities and lived experiences reflect the rich diversity of our immigrant community, including but not limited to, DACAmented immigrants, formerly undocumented immigrants, immigrants with only work authorization, U.S. citizens in mixed status families, immigrants with status, individuals impacted by the immigration deportation machine, and first-generation immigrants.
