What is the culture of Swipe Out Hunger?
Swipe Out Hunger aims to be a human-first workplace. We are a small but mighty team with growing impact. We are intentional about how we carry out our work, and balance the inherent need our partners face to support students’ basic needs. As a deeply committed team, we are serious and professional about our programmatic operations and how we interact in the workplace and at the same time, don’t take ourselves too seriously. We care deeply about one another, celebrate wins together as a team, and center our mission and students everyday. Additionally, we are constantly understanding how to continue supporting staff and their well-being.
What are the values of the Swipe Out Hunger team?
– We center our campus communities. We are stronger when our campus partners have what they need to thrive. In our role, we convene, put students first, invite people and community in. We make space for anyone interested in supporting students’ basic needs…yes, you can sit with us.
– We take risks and default towards action. Our curiosity outweighs our personal and professional fears. We show up every day knowing we must test, listen, learn, provoke in order to best serve. Through this, we remain strategically advantageous, finding opportunities to have outsized impact.
– We welcome vulnerability. We embrace and make space for vulnerability as a pathway to authentic connection, joy, and trust. We voice fears, concerns, dreams and hopes and in doing so, we deepen our trust within one another. This means we can ask tough questions and truly kick the tires on our programs, leading to work that is cutting edge, effective and inclusive.
– We plan, communicate, and live with integrity. Our communication is clear, direct, and mission centered. We remind each other that change is constant, so we must be like water. Just like our programs which evolve each year, we are adaptive. Our work place of integrity is possible because we trust each other.
