For those who feel that sitting on the sidelines just isn't enough: A guide to finding meaningful work in cause-centered organizations.
If you want a job that gives you not just a paycheck but a purpose, Compassionate Careers is an inspiring guide to get you started on your path. Filled with examples of people who have meaningful jobs in cause-focused organizations, it includes:
  • Stories from people of all walks of life who have jobs that make a difference, including famous figures like Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, and Dave Matthews
  • Information on how to get started in a cause-focused career
  • An online assessment that identifies the type of organizational culture for which you are best suited
  • Exercises and resources for hands-on exploration of compassionate career opportunities

  • An old Yaqui Indian proverb says, "If you have a choice of paths to take in life, take the path with a heart." Compassionate Careers will show you how.
    "Life's too short for you not to wholeheartedly pursue your gifts and passions. If you find the right mission and the right role within that mission, that's such a powerful thing. But Compassionate Careers also does a favor for people in that it's not candy coated. There are real tradeoffs, and it helps people think about how to navigate that path." —Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity
