What is it like to work at CompassPoint?
We are committed to building and conspiring with other nonprofit workers as we uproot oppressive systems and plant seeds for the relationships and work cultures that sustain ourselves and empower our communities to grow and flourish.
We are an unapologetically pro-Black organization rooted in our values and committed to shifting power. We believe the world as it exists is not the world we have to accept. We are building toward a future where race, gender, sexuality, class, ability, citizenship, age, and education are never barriers to dignity and wholeness; and we know creating that future requires courage, creativity, love, joy, and collective action. We believe a better world is possible and that it will require all of us to take bold risks and activate our creativity to collectively build it.
That doesn't mean we don't often fall short of that goal! We know that living into these commitments is not easy. We fall short, we make mistakes, and we are constantly learning alongside one another. This work is challenging and often messy - it requires vulnerability, care, and a willingness to prioritize relationships through moments of conflict, tension, and struggle.
If you're excited about where we are headed and up for the challenge, CompassPoint might be the right team for you! Whether you're hearing about us for the first time, getting reacquainted, or getting to know us more deeply, we encourage you to explore our vision and values, [1] read our "about us" page, [2] and check out our blog [3].

What we're currently focused on...
As the political and social climate changes, so does our organization. While CompassPoint has existed for more than 50 years, that’s in part because learning and changing lie at the core of who we are and what we do. As an organization, we’ve spent the last decade in a deep state of learning. Through trial and error, we’ve worked to fortify Black, Indigenous, and people of color leadership, as well as trying on different, more liberatory practices of supporting our people, inside and outside our organization. We have learned from both our successes and our failures, and we are doing the challenging work of creating something new out of the conditions we are in.
We are now in a time of rising authoritarianism and increased attacks on marginalized communities, as well as the nonprofit and movement organizations that serve and mobilize among those groups. This is a deep period of churn in the sector that is calling for us to once again reorganize, while keeping our eye toward the North Star of liberation for us all.
For CompassPoint, this means we’ve gotten smaller and more focused [7] on our distinct role and purpose within a larger ecosystem of organizations and efforts pushing toward the changes we want to see in the world. Joining our team at this time means you are stepping into a small, interconnected team that is committed to co-creating our next chapter together.
Working at CompassPoint Includes a Commitment to...
Contributing to healthy team dynamics - developing a common vision, working collaboratively with clear roles, and tending to relationships; willingness to grapple and engage in (not retreat from) generative conflict.
Agility - learning from experience and applying that learning successfully in new situations
Shared responsibility - critiquing and contributing (not only one or the other) toward our ongoing evolution as an organization
Collaborative contribution - contribute to the organization as a whole; willingness and curiosity for exploring and growing into varied areas of work
Transformative relationships - actively building relationships based on care and mutual flourishing
