My favorite part about IA is our nurturing community. Every day is a learning process, and there is so much room and encouragement for growth personally and professionally. Everyone on the team is always available to help you learn, and they do so with so much love and respect. I feel like I’m home — comfortable and cared for — whenever I am at work.

It is energizing to work for an organization that is both laser-focused on the mission and highly adaptable, where we are constantly learning from each other and from the field and innovating in new ways.
