- All UEC team members should expect interaction with volunteers, members, and youth participants.
**ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT**

**OUR EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE**
- We nurture an inclusive, supportive, and collaborative workplace culture. Many of our staff serve on cross-departmental committees for internal and external events, employee engagement, our equity, dignity, and justice (EDJ) focus, and safety initiatives, to name a few.
- All UEC staff work on-site a minimum of twice per week at one of our 3 branches, though many choose to work in person more frequently. Several of our roles do not have remote capabilities by the nature of their responsibilities.
- Urban Ecology Center staff can attend all programs and events at a low or no cost. Children of staff members attend programming, including summer camps, at reduced rates.
- Full-time staff at the Urban Ecology Center are offered competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance rates, a 3% 403(b) matching contribution, 24 days of PTO in year 1 (29 in year 2), 7 additional paid holidays, discounted UEC merchandise, and other great benefits.
