We could not be the groundbreaking organization we are today without the amazing people who contribute to our mission every day.
Inclusive
A welcoming and diverse workplace is fundamental to our success. Varied perspectives and experiences remind us that everyone has mental health. Ours is a safe, supportive, and caring workplace.
Flexible
We value a healthy work/life balance and aim to provide flexible paid time off for all employees. We are proud to foster an environment that is friendly to remote working, as well as providing organization-wide mental health days to all employees.
Health
We know that physical health and mental health are equally important and in fact inseparable. We encourage our staff to be open about any needed medical accommodations. We also practice well-being in small ways, such as through encouraging long lunch breaks to get outdoors, hosting staff-wide yoga and wellness events, and more!
Location
Our offices are in the vibrant Dupont Circle neighborhood in Washington, DC, just three blocks from the metro. Dawson’s Market is in our building, Emissary x Pergamino is a few steps away, and trendy restaurants and shops are all around.
Benefits
We provide all full-time employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical and dental coverage. We also offer paid maternity and paternity leave, an Employee Assistance Program, and a competitive 401(k) match.

Active Minds is committed to the continued work and process of becoming a more equity-focused and inclusive organization. We strongly encourage and seek applications from people of color, people with disabilities, bilingual and bicultural individuals, people with lived experiences, veterans, and LGBTQI individuals.
