Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 771, Mon 2 December, 2024

Happy December Escapees!

Of all the ways to make an impact, there’s something special about volunteering. It’s purpose-driven, it’s rewarding, and let’s face it – it’s also a great excuse to get away from your overflowing inbox. With International Volunteer Day coming up this Thursday, it’s the perfect time to think about how you can give back, learn something new, or even test out a new career path (without quitting your day job...yet).

Through our partnership with Reach Volunteering, you can browse and apply for meaningful volunteer opportunities directly on Escape (have a browse here). Whether you’re a marketing wizard, a spreadsheet master, or a digital design genius, there’s a cause out there that could use your skills. Plus, it’s a nice break from doom-scrolling.

Volunteering isn’t just about helping others. It’s a sneaky-good way to help yourself too. Want to try something new, strengthen your skills, or dip your toes into purpose-driven work? Volunteering is like a career test-drive without the pressure of a full-blown shift. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that warm, fuzzy feeling of making a difference?

So why not take a look at the roles available through Reach Volunteering? Whether you’re looking to make a difference or just shake things up a bit, this could be your chance to try something new and meaningful.

Happy Escaping!
