After the 2024 presidential election results, social impact pros knew the backdrop of their work might look very different this year - and to say that's been the case is an understatement. With stark shifts in attitudes toward civil rights, social services, and climate action on display in | America's highest office, it feels like many of the missions that power the impact sector risk succumbing to this fierce political storm. So what jobs exist right now for people looking to use their careers for positive social impact? And what does it mean for the scores of social impact pros currently looking for work? We welcome social impact career placement specialist and professional development coach Robert Jay Ross back to the Space for a candid, sometimes comical, conversation about what the social impact work landscape looks like in this volatile chapter of changemaking.
