Always So Happy to Come to Work
For Anita Leva, a Philadelphia-based senior administrative assistant with our legal affairs department—and staffer with the most infectious smile—Pew represents so much more than a job. Through our external programming and internal culture, it’s the opportunity to consistently give back to Philadelphia, our shared hometown, that’s part of why she’s stayed with us 14 years and counting.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We know that in America and around the globe, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, women, people of faith, and others have been discriminated against and disadvantaged. The multitude of perspectives offered by our staff and our partners has always been integral to our work, but today we must be more intentional in our efforts to focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as core elements of our operations and culture.
