Human resources
Urban Green Council is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability status or any other applicable characteristics protected by law. We celebrate diversity and are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment for our staff and community.
As part of our commitment to ensuring a fair hiring process for all applicants, we use a blind recruitment process. Our blind hiring process removes identifying personal information from applications and resumes to reduce unconscious bias and focus on a candidate’s skills and qualifications throughout the hiring process. For this reason, Urban Green staff do not typically speak with applicants before the interview process. If you have a specific question about your application, please reach out to jobs@urbangreencouncil.org.
