Oxfam America,
one of the latest to join DiversityWorking's list of
prestigious diversity company members, is part of an international
confederation of 17 members that started in Oxford, England in 1942.
Just like the
original Oxfam founded in response to a humanitarian need at the
time, Oxford America was started by a group of volunteers in 1970,
also in response to a humanitarian crisis brought about by
Bangladesh's fight for independence.
From
its founding until today, Oxford America has
remained steadfast to its commitment
to addressing issues of injustice and poverty, and the
set of core values that has informed our work. For
its mission of
“creating
lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice,” Oxfam
America, an equal opportunity employer, works with a team of
professionals dedicated to the fight against poverty and social
injustice.
Oxfam believes its
people are its greatest resources; each individual plays an important
role in eradicating poverty, in solving famine, in righting what is
wrong. Oxfam's commitment to excellence in its work is likewise
reflected in the comprehensive package of benefits the organization
offers its dedicated staff, which includes health, dental, vision,
life insurance; disability coverage, retirement among many other
benefits.
Aside
from its full-time employees from a diversity of backgrounds, talents and skills, Oxfam affiliates works with over
3,000 partners in more than 90 countries, employing staff in a wide
range of posts. At the same time, the company takes in volunteers and
interns who are able and willing to make a difference in the world.
Indeed, Oxfam America is a great place
to grow your career while at the same time, help fulfill the vision
of a just world without poverty through the creation of just
solutions.
