The ZGYC team is a fun group! The workplace is flexible and creative. We encourage trying new things and laughing a lot. Our values are wellness, connection, and growth and we do our best to embrace these in all areas of our workplace. We have fun and also, we are dedicated and care deeply about our community.

## Express confidential interest

Alaska politics is a small world. If you can't be seen job-hunting, submit a sealed interest : the employer sees only your alias and pitch. Your name and contact stay sealed until they request an introduction and you approve it . Decline, and they never learn who asked.
