Content Team Award
How it Works:
- Notify your manager when you have achieved a milestone (e.g. when you’ve mobilized 50 individuals to email Congress). After your achievement is verified and confirmed, you are free to shout it to the world and list the award on your resume. The organization will verify it with future employers when they do background checks.
- With team members spread across the globe, our approach to awards is fairly low key. While we’d love to present winners with a giant trophy at a ceremony, we recognize that it would create overhead and the majority of our winners would prefer to see the funding go to helping the poor.
