Our Search Process
One of ECF’s core principles is our focus on equity. We believe in inclusion and the richness of ideas and perspectives and actively invite a diversity of candidates to consider our opportunity. Studies have shown that marginalized communities are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We would encourage you to still apply even if you don’t meet every single skill listed, or your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with the role.
We also believe it is vitally important to provide a safe working environment for our employees, volunteers, and visitors to reduce the risk of exposure to, or spreading of the COVID-19 virus. It is a requirement of employment that every staff member will receive all recommended doses of the COVID-19 vaccine, according to schedules published from time to time by the Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention (CDC), except if a reasonable accommodation has been granted based upon disability or religion.
