Workforce Philosophy
Elder justice work deserves sustainable wages.
For years, this work has depended on volunteers and underfunded professionals carrying significant responsibility. The immediate goal is modest: fund a part-time coordinator at approximately 20 hours per week to help the coalition function.
Long-term wage ladder
Transparency Commitment
The goal is to make the invisible work visible.
