Hello Social Good Community, and Happy Halloween to all those who celebrate!
This week, I’d like to highlight an article that spoke to me and I think will resonate with anyone interested in pursuing a career in the Social Good sphere. In this beautiful article Catherine Addo (founder of social impact collective Issue Space) discusses her transition from the music industry to her current role as a Social Impact Strategist. She details the very real considerations of being a change-maker working within current socioeconomic structures, the ways to manage the ever-present risk of burnout in your work, and the importance of building and sustaining community wherever it is that you land. I hope you enjoy this read and draw some value from its messaging this week.

If you’d like to discuss these considerations further, or if you have any other career-related concerns, schedule an appointment with a Greene Center advisor through Handshake today.
Take care of yourself, enjoy as this October season comes to a close, and I’ll see you back here again very soon!
