If you are looking to get into an exciting nonprofit, to get your hands dirty working on something you love, and find a young network of phenomenal mentors, this position is for you!

Our team is filled with people from around the globe, with different backgrounds, personalities, ages, and views; all brought together by an immutable passion to make a change. Although people come and go, the inspiration within these photos will last forever (or as long as the Polaroid lasts!)
