About Meritworks
The Key to Unlocking Your Full Potential
OUR MISSION
Meritworks exists to help people and organizations build systems that actually work—for humans. We believe your skills matter even when they don’t fit a traditional box, and your values deserve to be reflected in your workplace, policies, and path forward.
Whether you’re an individual navigating change or a nonprofit trying to build ethical infrastructure, Meritworks is here to offer structure without shame—and strategy without burnout.

““The world doesn’t need more perfect resumes. It needs more people willing to own who they are and systems that make it safe to do so.””
OUR PHILOSOPHY
You are not behind. We meet you where you are.
Clarity is kindness. We say what we mean.
Policy is power. We use it to protect people, not punish them.
Skill is not title-bound. We value lived experience.
Meritworks blends the science of behavior with the art of becoming. If you’re ready to align your strategy with your story, we’d love to work with you.
