Jobs for Change
By Tom Wilson Major Gifts Guru
I got a notice of a new initiativefrom Danny Moldovan, Director of the Jobs for Change initiative at Change.org. He reports they have just made a big announcement in response to Obama’s call for public service. Jobs for Change is a career service and marketplace for social change jobs that’s been created in partnership with dozens of nonprofits, including Young Nonprofit Professionals Network, AmeriCorps Alums, and Encore Careers. You can check it out at http://jobs.change.org/.
Their goal is to spark a nationwide movement toward careers in the common good – including nonprofit, government, and social enterprise jobs. On the website you can find the beginnings of a well-designed, international database of social change jobs. They will be providing guidance on finding and developing a career in social change.
What a great idea.
Mention this website to your major gift donors who may be looking for public service jobs for their children who are recent-college graduates. We may also see a trend for younger retirees to take on nonprofit leadership positions.
