If there’s one thing I’ve observed through the last several years, it’s that remote work is officially, and without a doubt, a thing!
Many of us have shifted our understanding of how remote work and learning fit into our professional trajectory, changing from something that perhaps once felt like “the dream” to a situation that for many of us is preferable, attainable, and even a must-have. While we used to ask, “How do I find remote work in the nonprofit sector?” these days, the prevailing question seems to be “Once I land a work-from-home job, how do I successfully do remote?”
Whether you’re a student, a social-impact professional navigating this remote world, or just laser-focused on the job search, we’ve got everything you need right here!

Of course, it’s a little different when you’re trying to build those connections remotely. Learn the ins and outs of remote-relationship building with our tips for connecting with new (virtual) communities.

Making remote work accessible for all
|
Working from home is more than setting up your perfectly productive workspace, and making sure you don’t inadvertently turn yourself into a cat during your very important meeting (hey, those video filters can be tricky 🤷♀️). With so many social-impact professionals still working from somewhere other than the office, we have a unique opportunity to implement long overdue changes to make remote work accessible to all. Here’s how to help your organization create a universally accessible virtual workspace.
