There is no ‘how-to’ book for our community. We’re making it ourselves. That requires people who can embrace vulnerability, take initiative, learn from mistakes, and be open to giving and receiving feedback. Bricolage is a diverse community, but we are committed to being an anti-racist one. This means devoting time to understand what racism is, exploring how it manifests, and taking actions to dismantle it. Also, Bricolage’s diversity is not itself an end. Rather, we believe our diversity is a means to amplifying empathy, advancing equity and facilitating creativity and innovation. We don’t have all of the answers, and we’re okay with that. If you’re looking for certainty, we suggest you pursue a position in a factory (or a factory-like school). Bricolage is being built as we speak. It’s a magical place, but an imperfect one. Everyone at Bricolage has successes and failures. You will experience both. We’re looking for a special kind of teacher. If this sounds like you, please apply. We can’t wait to meet you. People of color are strongly encouraged to apply, however, Bricolage does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, marital status, sex, gender or gender identity, age, sexual orientation, or any other status protected by applicable federal, state or local law.
