The Ethical Employment Project

Hey folks, it’s co-founders Ava and Molly here!👋 We know it’s been a little quiet here, but we’ve been super busy with our senior year, new jobs, and even a quick trip to South Korea! But don’t worry, we’re still hard at work building our website and brainstorming new resources for you all❤️
Also, because we are young, first-time entrepreneurs, we want to be as transparent as possible in our business-building process, which will invariably include lots of roadblocks and detours. But we are so excited to be on this journey with all of you and continuing to make TEEP better and better✨

Let’s talk about something we haven’t really covered yet: VOLUNTEER WORK! There are so many reasons to volunteer. You’re helping other people; you’re trying new things and getting out of your comfort zone; and it looks 💯 on a resume. Plus, if you volunteer with friends, it can be a really fun way to spend an afternoon or weekend! Whether you’re doing it for the resume boost or to help those around you, getting involved in your community is ALWAYS something to be proud of.
