Hey there!,

The best career moves I've made weren't applying for "the perfect job." They were the things that expanded my horizon - working under managers who saw things I didn't, fellowships that introduced me to people solving problems in completely different ways, volunteering gigs that taught me how other sectors work.

It's not about collecting LinkedIn connections or optimising your coffee meeting strategy (spray and pray, low ROI, mildly soul-destroying). It's about getting proximate to brilliant work and the humans doing it. That's what builds landscape awareness, transferable skills you didn't know you needed, and doors you couldn't even see existed.

This edition is packed with those opportunities. Obama Foundation's leadership program with 35 changemakers across Asia Pacific (the catalyst that started Ripple - so yes, biased, but it works). Working under Snow Foundation's seasoned Impact Manager supporting 20+ visionary founders. Being Nicole's first Business & Partnerships hire at Future Anything (she's an Obama Leader who's built something remarkable - proximity matters).

These aren't just roles or programs. They're horizon expanders.

(And yes, there's more behind the login: health tech startups building care platforms, climate comms roles turning policy into content people care about, volunteer lawyer gigs that count toward your practice hours, fully-funded Asia fellowships. The usual good stuff.)

⬇️ Scroll for fellowships ($100K+ in scholarships, fully-funded programs) and headline roles, or login for the full buffet. ⬇️

Pro tip: We're actively matchmaking on several roles (Snow Foundation, Future Anything). Complete your Ripple profile and hit reply if you're keen - we'll keep an eye out for your application.

Your future network will thank you.
