Hey there!,

Scroll down for 28 of our hottest picks and member-only opportunities to level up your impact work and grow your momentum (or login for 100+ more).

Welcome to all our new Ripplers and big shout out to those of you that have spotlighted some great opps for our community recently. In this drop you can find opps from community members like Eezu behind Climate Writers, Indigo and the team at Global Voices, Lucy at FORE Australia + many more.

And it got me thinking. We know a lot of you aren’t just doing your job - you’re launching pilots, growing programs, hosting training, making things happen behind the scenes for something bigger than yourself.

I’ve started a list but what are we missing? Does this sound like you or your mate (sharing is caring!) If so, I’d love you to hit reply with 👇

  • An initiative our community might care about

  • A team or org doing great work

  • Or even just something small that’s working really well

Hit reply to share and we might feature you (and your team) across Ripple to provide inspo for everyone in the community.

Good people should be easier to find. Same goes for good work + ideas to get involved with.

Love your work!
