SAVE THE WORLD CAREERS : Would you like to work for purpose rather than for profit? Here’s the good news – you can now make a mark while you make money. Find out about the opportunities to make a difference in the world around you.

There are loads of not-for-profit organisations that offer people the opportunity to combine passion, principle and career. Whatever your passion may be, there is sure to be an organisation for you: environment, social justice and political advocacy, animal welfare, health and social services, aid and relief organisations, conservation and land management, government sponsored organisations, youth and Aboriginal/Indigenous issues.

While advocacy work or campaigning can be a big part of what these organisations do, this book uncovers the places where there is a need for a wide range of people and skills. We interview an accountant, administration staff, youth support worker, advocacy and projects funding officer, Australian youth ambassador, fundraising and marketing officer, nutrition manager, campaign coordinator, internal audit manager, HIV/AIDS and development consultant, support service coordinator, graphic designer, journalist, researcher, web managers, chief pilot, HR officer and project manager.

Hear from people currently working in this highly rewarding industry and discover the powerful sense of common purpose that you can gain from striving for something important with other like-minded people. If it’s job satisfaction you want, then this is for you!
