Careers

DC Greens maintains a staff-led “Equity Cell.” This is a voluntary group of employees who safeguard equity as a lived organizational value in our workplace. They hold us accountable by ensuring all DC Greens’ policies, processes, programs, and projects are conducted through an equity lens, and that equity is a shared responsibility among all employees. 

DC Greens utilizes a pay equity process (PEP) that centers our organizational principles and culture. Our PEP turns away from a traditional, market-based salary model and instead uses a social justice approach to align our compensation practices with our values. This model works to increase transparency, uproot, challenge, and intentionally engage commonly held beliefs about what types of labor are compensated.   

As a result, all DC Greens salaries are non-negotiable. Instead, all employees begin with the same base salary. Then, key areas of responsibility are additionally compensated. Together, these factors are what determine the employee’s salary and ensure just pay practices across the organization.
