Summer Work 2: idealist.org

If you have not used this site before, we highly recommend idealist.org (@idealist). They are in the business of connecting people who want to help with organizations and groups who are tying to help. It is free to use once you sign up. Their site provides listings for organizations, people and events, as well as, opportunities for volunteering locally, nationally and internationally. For career advice, they offer a non-profit career center and a graduate school resource center (@gradresources). To compliment these resources they host "Graduate Degree Fairs" in various cities. Last but not least, you can also look into working for Idealist itself.

Idealist's Mission and Vision

Our Vision
We would like to live in a world where:
  • All people can lead free and dignified lives.
  • Every person who wants to help another has the ability to do so.
  • No opportunities for action or collaboration are missed or wasted.

Our Mission
Idealist connects people, organizations, and resources to help build a world where all people can live free and dignified lives.

Idealist is independent of any government, political ideology, or religious creed. Our work is guided by the common desire of our members and supporters to find practical solutions to social and environmental problems, in a spirit of generosity and mutual respect.
