The importance of encouraging young voices in the nonprofit, charitable and social impact sector

Advice
Early career professionals are ambitious, keen to learn, with an array of new ideas. Despite this, senior employees can, oftentimes unknowingly, overshadow young professional’s voices. It is important to remember that graduates and young professionals are the future leaders within our organisations. Therefore, it is extremely important to encourage young voices in the nonprofit, charitable and social impact sector as they develop in their career.

Making ends meet: surviving on expenses or low pay during your internship or first job

Working life
When graduating from college and entering into a competitive workplace, it can be a challenge to have to make your way through a work placement on low pay, or perhaps nothing at all, after years of doing the same in college. But with a bit of careful planning, looking at the best ways of keeping costs down and with a little earning on the side you can make it manageable. Unpaid internships are technically illegal, but since many of them are organised informally, unpaid internships and work experience still do happen.
