Outside In Employment

Outside In is required by law to obtain proof of staff COVID-19 vaccination status or an approved medical or religious exception on file for all staff, volunteers, or any other persons doing work onsite or on behalf of the agency. 

Join the Outside In Team

We’ll admit it, we think Outside In is a great place to work. Oregon Business Magazine ranked us as “One of the 100 Best Nonprofits to work for In Oregon” seven times. We believe our people are our greatest asset. We offer excellent health benefits and a generous paid time off package.

We look for people who are passionate about working with a diverse population of youth experiencing homelessness and people in need of medical care.

If you have questions about the COVID-19 vaccination requirement or need information about the exception process, please email hr@outsidein.org.

Diversity

Outside In recognizes that our clients and employees have unique experiences rooted in and affected by race, culture, gender and gender identity, age, belief systems, social class and income, sexual orientation, physical ability, and other aspects of individual identity. We acknowledge the beauty, strength, and opportunities that come from such diversity as well as the destructive and pervasive consequences that come from prejudice and oppression. We are deeply committed to dismantling overt and covert oppression, building personal and institutional diversity, and fostering inclusiveness.
