⚒️ Resources

A wildly incomplete list of helpful job boards, newsletters, people, networks and more. Some of these are personal projects and may not be active and updated forever but are all fabulous. Like you. Awwww....

• All Tech is Human runs the Responsible Tech Careers and Job Board. Most roles found there are in for-profit companies. There are also some nonprofit, foundation, and think tank type roles.
• So, You Want To Work in Climate...that's not rhetorical. It's the name of an amazing resource put together by Nicole Kelner. It includes job boards, newsletters, communities, events and more.
• Follow Justin Daugherty on LinkedIn to see links to jobs in climate communications.
• Public Solutions Jobs is a job board for roles in policy, public good research and more. Basically, they're helping find homes for people working in public service whose lives were overturned when Trump and DOGE decided to toss the Monopoly board in the air and storm off like the immature fools they are.
• The folks at All Hands run a huge jobs list and matchmaking service for people looking for roles in nonprofits and social good tech. They also run a Slack community where jobs get posted weekly and a lot of people support one another in their search.
• A friend recommended Never Search Alone, a book by Phyl Terry. Best part might be the hundreds of job search councils, local and sector support groups, supported by the book.
• Democracy Notes, run by Gabriel Lerner, shares out pro-democracy roles in nonprofits, think tanks, foundations and more.

• Follow Mandy Van Deven on LinkedIn to get news on open roles in philanthropy and social change leadership around the world. Mandy also shares insights on narrative and systems change.
