A community of practitioners building strong organizations that retain talent.

Team Assembly is a project of Cultivate

At Cultivate, we are building a community where every aspiring changemaker has access to the tools they need to build a career they love. We believe that people are the most important resource we have for creating progressive change in the world. We care deeply about hiring, training, and retaining top talent in the progressive movement. This means investing in people throughout their entire careers, and empowering organizations to build strong cultures that bring out the best in their teams.

Cultivate also runs All Hands, the progressive talent matchmaker for democracy. Need help sourcing mission-driven talent at low-cost rates? Email us at info@cultivateteam.org.

To get a sense of the thinking & values we weave into this work, see this piece: Dear progressive movement: we need to stop treating strong culture like an afterthought.
