Publisher's Synopsis

Part career guide, part activist's handbook, THE IDEALIST.ORG HANDBOOK TO BUILDING A BETTER WORLD provides tools and inspiration for anyone who wants to make a difference but doesn't know where to start. Inspired by Idealist.org's 600,000-member online community and their ongoing search for work that gives back to the world, this practical reference walks readers through the different ways they can get involved and the range of possibilities for applying one's interests and skills to meet their community's needs. Idealist.org's staff gives a comprehensive understanding of the issues, options, organisations,and resources so readers can be proactive, whether it's through their current job, volunteering, donating, personal spending, board service, starting an organisation or changing careers.
