Our Making Waves Community
Making Waves Education Foundation is a Bay Area nonprofit committed to equity – with students from 5th grade to college and career.
We partner with historically underrepresented and underserved students to help make college affordable and graduation attainable. Our Wave-Makers graduate from college and land jobs at twice the rate of their peers, and 85% earn their degrees debt-free.
Our Commitment
We provide competitive salaries, along with a comprehensive benefits plan for eligible employees and their domestic spouse/domestic partners and/or dependents.
- 51 total days off per fiscal year (a combination of company-paid holidays, vacation, sick, and personal time).
- 100% employer paid medical (Kaiser HMO Platinum), vision, and dental benefits for the full-time staff member and a spouse/domestic partner or dependent child(ren).
- An array of well-rounded benefits, including monthly staff lunches, retirement match, mental health benefits (HSA), FSA for medical and childcare expenses, and a professional development stipend.
- A hybrid work environment where staff work from the office on specific days and have flexibility to work remotely otherwise. We provide a monthly wi-fi reimbursement and a home set-up stipend to set staff up to successfully work remotely.
At Making Waves Education Foundation, you’ll find a great community of people and a dynamic, collaborative, and rewarding work environment.
We value recruiting top talent, treating them equitably and fairly, investing in their growth and development, and supporting their career progression at Making Waves and beyond. If you feel impassioned to help make a difference in the lives of our Wave-Makers, today and well into the future, consider joining our team.
