Careers site Indeed has released its annual ranking of the best non-profits to work for, based on employee reviews around five factors: compensation and benefits, work/life balance, job security and advancement, management, and culture. At the top of the list are organizations that pride themselves in giving back to the community, with [Habitat for Humanity](https://www.habitat.org/) up front, followed by the [AARP](http://www.aarp.org), [Boys & Girls Club of America](http://www.bcga.org/), the [Boy Scouts of America](http://www.scouting.org/) and [Communities in Schools](http://www.communitiesinschools.org/). According to Indeed, several newcomers are in the top 15 compared to last year: [The Salvation Army](http://www.salvationarmyusa.org), [Girl Scouts of the USA](http://www.girlscouts.org/), [American Red Cross](http://www.redcross.org), [Easter Seals](http://www.easterseals.com/), [Teach for America](http://www.teachforamerica.org), [Planned Parenthood](http://www.plannedparenthood.org), and [PRIDE Industries](http://www.prideindustries.com). Though a majority of Americans work in the private sector, according to the [Non-Profit Quarterly](https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2016/10/24/nonprofit-workforce-numbers/), the labor force has increased within the non-profit sector since 2003, with more than 14 million people working at non-profits now. A majority of that work performed is within the health and education fields, which correlates with the list below. "Employees seem to be very satisfied and happy to work for a mission-driven organization that helps a community they are passionate about," says Indeed's senior vice president Paul D'Arcy. "Users were ranking each of these nonprofits very high in terms of work/life balance, management, and culture." Some of the more interesting sounding jobs available right now include "Chief People Officer" at [Teach for America](http://jobs.teachforamerica.org/ts2__JobDetails?jobId=a0x0V000006iD97QAE&tSource=&bID=1702), the [CEO of the Girls Scouts in the Hudson Valley](https://www.philanthropy.com/jobs/0000387601-01), and a [vice president of digital strategy at the AARP](http://careers.aarp.org/ShowJob/Id/1345113/Vice%20President,%20Digital%20Strategy%20%E2%80%94%20Influent50).
