• Self-motivated. You are motivated to do your best work each day, and do not need anyone to pressure you to complete your job duties.
• Strong Communicator. You have strong verbal and written communication skills. You can communicate clearly and concisely. Bilingual abilities are a plus.
• Passionate. You care about LGBTQ youth. You care about saving lives. You want to come to work and feel inspired every day. You want to change the world.
