Work for a great organization!

Green Lake School-Age Program (GLSA) is a state licensed, nonprofit, social emotional learning program rooted in nonviolent communication,* dedicated to creating meaningful relationships with children, and to working in partnership with families to help raise empathetic, socially aware, happy, and emotionally intelligent individuals.

* “Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need... To practice the process of conflict resolution, we must completely abandon the goal of getting people to do what we want.” -- Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD
