2024 Sabbatical Application
Choosing rest is powerful. Sabbaticals are an opportunity to rejuvenate and slow down. We invite you to take a few deep breaths, put on some of your favorite music and share a bit of yourself with our team. You will have the option to save your form and finish it at a later time if you so choose. For commonly asked questions and more info about the eligibility criteria, please visit restofourlives.org/sabbaticalgranting. If you have any questions, or if there is something we can do to better accommodate your needs as you proceed through this process, please don't hesitate to reach out to Rachel Zieleniec at rachel@restofourlives.org. APPLICATION DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 27.
Applicant Information
R&R operates through an equity lens, with an understanding of how BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, disabled and women leaders experience a double burden that makes the traditional workplace especially unsustainable. We believe the perspectives, experiences and voices of all people, especially those from historically resilient identities, are essential to ensuring our community is fully served. Thank you for helping us in this work by sharing your identities as you feel comfortable.
