Careers at Wren
The Wren Collective is a family-first organization that values action and risk-taking, research and evidence over instinct, and quality over egos. We are collaborative and we do not shy away from challenges or discomfort. We are unafraid to try new things and are willing to pivot away from entrenched, ineffective tactics to meet our North Star of building up healthy communities and ending our devastating reliance on incarceration.
