Vaccination Requirement: As a grantee of the DC government per the Mayor's Order 2021-099, we are required to confirm the vaccination status of all employees who might at any point be in person with us or the public. As a potential employee whose role may include contact with the public or other office members, please let us know if you are vaccinated and have received a booster or if you are making an accommodation request to be exempted from the vaccination requirement for a medical reason or sincerely held religious belief.
Prioritizing Access and Inclusion: If you require accommodations or have any access needs that you want to make sure are met during any part of this application and hiring process, please reach out to us at ah@tzedekdc.org.
Statistics frequently show that women, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and disabled people, as well as people in other marginalized groups, apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Tzedek DC encourages you to break that statistic and apply anyway. (Note: lived experience managing your own legal concerns related to any of the above counts as experience too.) We look forward to your application.
