Working at News Literacy Project

Working at NLP doesn’t just offer competitive benefits and a flexible work life. It’s an opportunity to work with a group of remarkably dedicated people on one of the most important issues of our time.

NLP is a virtual workplace, meaning that most of our staff work primarily from home. When in-person collaboration is needed, we do have shared workspaces in Washington, D.C.

We thrive on a supportive environment where each staff member is made to feel welcome and is a valued member of the team. We deeply value diversity in the workplace and strongly believe that a diverse team enriches our organization and strengthens our ability to realize our mission (read/print NLP’s organizational values [PDF] and Commitment to Diversity [PDF]). While we are extremely mission-driven, we still take time to have fun.

Current staff agree:

“NLP has given me the opportunity to grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined and the flexibility to maintain a good work/life balance.”

“As a veteran, I know how important it is to work toward a larger goal with an exemplary team. At NLP I get both, and my love for working in administration is connected to a mission that truly matters.”

While working at NLP, you can expect all this, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes:

  • Competitive salaries based on experience and position.
  • 401(k) plan with annual employer match.
  • Medical, dental and vision insurance and employer-funded HSA.
  • Annual professional development funds for each employee.
  • Generous PTO including paid holidays, floating personal days, vacation days and sick days.
  • Potential for annual performance-based raises and bonuses.
  • Flexible virtual work environment supporting a positive work/life balance.
