I feel pretty at home and settled in at work. I feel like I can joke around and relax in a way that I might not be able to in a more strict setting. My workplace culture is obviously one that wants to help people and the community. It\u2019s definitely silly, and you can see that in the icebreakers we do at office meetings. I think that\u2019s something that comes from working with kids. It\u2019s accepting in the way that it doesn\u2019t make assumptions- of people\u2019s pronouns, etc- and the workplace definitely acknowledges that not everybody comes from the same background. My workplace culture is also pretty relaxed and trusting. Everyone trusts that you will get your work done, and it doesn\u2019t really matter how. Also, because there are two locations and a lot of the staff go between both locations, it means that you don\u2019t see all of the staff every day because they are in the other location. Most of the people at my workplace are pretty young- not fresh out of college young- but there\u2019s nobody who\u2019s old there. That definitely makes me feel pretty comfortable, but I wonder if that\u2019s reflective of all non-profit work, as I\u2019ve heard people mention burnout due to low salaries and hard work. My workplace is also mostly white, which brings up an interesting point as to our place in the community. Our students have brought it up, and we discuss how to navigate that question in our volunteer training sessions. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture is something that\u2019s difficult to put into words, but I know that I\u2019ve observed it in order to fit in my workplace.
