Discussion about livable wages continues today
You may have seen announcements about the ChangeScale Summer Dialogue Series focusing on job quality and pay equity in environmental education (EE). These lunchtime conversations have been a great way to meet new colleagues and discuss what it's like working in EE.
The first of two conversations with independent contractors about livable wages in environmental education occurred on August 15. Registration was strong and dedicated professionals showed up to engage in conversation.
Those in attendance shared thoughts and experiences around the following topics:
Challenges associated with being an independent contractor in EE.
Fair pay and equity
What nonprofits/organizations look for in an independent contractor
Marketing
Advocating for a livable wage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
