About the Organization The Partnership for Southern Equity (PSE) advances policies and institutional actions that promote racial equity and shared prosperity for all in the growth of metropolitan Atlanta and the American South. Our organization includes four key portfolios: Just Energy (JE), Just Growth (JG), Just Health (JH), and Just Opportunity (JO); and three initiatives: Just Communities, Just Youth (formerly YES! for Equity), and Just Solutions (JS). We are committed to diversity and building an inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds and ages. PSE especially encourages members of traditionally underrepresented communities to apply, including women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ folx, and differently‑abled people. We know there are great candidates who won’t fit everything we’ve described above—or who have important skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, please don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
