5 Steps to get a job in the United Nations

The Foundation

We are the largest nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. Founded on a simple premise: people everywhere, regardless of identity or circumstances, should have the chance to live healthy, productive lives. We believe our employees should reflect the rich diversity of the global populations we aim to serve. We provide an exceptional benefits package to employees and their families which include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with no premiums, generous paid time off, paid family leave, foundation-paid retirement contribution, regional holidays, and opportunities to engage in several employee communities. As a workplace, weโ€™re committed to creating an environment for you to thrive both personally and professionally.

The TeamOur focus in education is ensuring that all students โ€“ especially Black, Indigenous, and Latino students, and students from low-income backgrounds โ€“ have an opportunity to earn a degree or certificate that prepares them for a successful career and fulfilling life. Our Postsecondary Success (PS) strategy seeks to support transformation in colleges and universities to ensure that many more Black, Indigenous, and Latino students, students from low-income backgrounds, and all students, obtain quality, affordable credentials that offer value and lead to economic mobility. This strategy is working to ensure that race/ethnicity and income are no longer predictors of student success.

The โ€œTransformation Teamโ€ is accountable for a portfolio of investments designed to help traditional and innovative postsecondary institutions accelerate their transformation progress. We do this by investing in innovative institutions and institutional models, as well as intermediaries and other partners to work with member colleges on deep and comprehensive change. To do this work, institutions and intermediaries strengthen their organizational capacity and collaborate deeply with one another so that they can work smarter together towards achievement of shared goal. We work closely with other PS teams on integrated strategies that will bring what we know and what weโ€™re learning about success and value for focus students. We work closely with other funders and the private sector to advance and sustain these efforts.

Leadership & Culture

Our culture shapes our choices about what we do and how we do it. We believe that energized people, working well together, fueled by great leadership in an inclusive environment can do extraordinary things. We expect foundation employees to consistently embody our four agreements: show respect, offer trust, be transparent, and create energy.
