Careers & Internships

Careers

Vermont Works for Women (VWW) offers careers where you can make a difference in the lives of women and youth across Vermont every day. VWW is an equal opportunity employer offering an uplifting, flexible work atmosphere strong on collaboration and innovation as well as a comprehensive benefits package.

We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment that represents the vibrant communities we serve. Candidates across all markers of identity and expressions (genders, sexualities, races, religions, ages, national origins, and abilities, etc.) are highly encouraged to apply.  Studies have shown that marginalized communities – such as women, LGBTQ+ and people of color – are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We value both professional and personal expertise in prospective job candidates as well as a passion for the mission. If you’re excited about a posted position but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to still consider submitting an application.

We are currently hiring for two positions:

  • Trailblazers Program Manager
  • Gender Equity Services Coordinator

Gender Equity Services Coordinator

This part-time coordinator will develop resources and collect data regarding employment for justice-involved women in Vermont. The position will disseminate resources for employers to implement strategies that open pathways to employment for women with a history of involvement in the criminal justice system, and workplace policies that promote inclusivity and success. The coordinator will develop trainings and webinars, as well as employer resources. The position will also engage in outreach with employers and convene an employer focus group to collect data and information related to workforce needs, employer needs, and career pathways to inform the vocational trainings and employment readiness programs offered within the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. The role will also support other gender equity services and programs as directed.   

This position would involve a mix of time working in the main office in Winooski, VT, traveling to employers around the state, and teleworking. The position pays $25/hour and comes with generous paid leave.  VWW also provides dental insurance to employees who work 20 hours or more per week. Ideally the candidate will start right after the new year. This is a part-time (up to 20 hours/week) one-year, grant-funded position ending 12/1/2025.
