Company Description

Metanoia is an established leader in asset-based community development in the Charleston region. We pursue an innovative model that supports communities in discovering and growing the assets of distressed neighborhoods, so that community health is restored from the inside out. We support a movement that champions thriving schools and businesses, enhancing core economic and social sustainability.

Why work for Metanoia?

We believe everyone has the inherent right to live well, in the places they love and call home. But like too many other historically marginalized communities, the assets within it — including its people, places and partnerships — are often undervalued or even unrecognized. Over time, this can create a sense of diminished possibilities. Metanoia is here to help reverse this trend by seeking out the unique assets that exist within the community and building on those strengths. When we invest in each other in this way, we can open hearts and minds to all that’s possible, inspiring a belief that we can all live in this place, and live well.

Equal Opportunity Employer

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
