Join Us In Co-Creating a Just and Sustainable Work Schedule
LVEJO remains committed to the well-being of the people who make up our organization alongside our work itself. Part of this means that we work to set boundaries on an institutional level such that our organization’s staff’s time is respected, appreciated, and not subject to externally-determined urgency.
While we appreciate the generous opportunities extended to us by outside partners, we remain best positioned to evaluate whether or not a new opportunity will serve the community and align with our current scope of work and capacity.
In order to preserve a just and sustainable work schedule and work-life balance for LVEJO staff, as well as remain aligned with our mission and vision, LVEJO has several policies in place around external requests.
First, please expect a turn around time of two weeks or more for a response to a new inquiry. Emailing the same request to all of our staff members will not produce a faster internal process on our end.
Second, all external requests must be submitted through the LVEJO screening questions.
Third, for scheduling related to speaking engagements, long meetings, and grant prospects, we require a few months’ lead time.
In closing, thank you for your respectful communication and support.
