Jobs With Meaning

If you are interested in working in the nonprofit sector, you should check out Idealist.org.

According to their website, "Idealist.org is a website that facilitates connections between individuals and institutions that are interested in improving their communities. Over 84,000 nonprofit organizations from more than 180 countries have created profiles on Idealist.org. They use these profiles to list information about their missions, programs, services, and opportunities."

It's possible to search for jobs, internships, or volunteer opportunities through the site. You can narrow the search down by country (great for Foreign Service spouses looking for new opportunities abroad) and you can review three postings before you register (which is free). You can network with other like-minded individuals through "Idealist Groups."

Good luck and happy job hunting!
