Below
I’ve grouped some of my all-time finds on working, learning and social good.
Some are videos; others are websites and articles. Graduating from MTPC soon
and being put into the “real world” I love to read up on anything inspirational
to help me out. Hope you find something you need just like I did!
On working:
She goes on to list the things we do as interns and the reasons
we do those things. Beautifully written and spot-on, this piece is a resource
for current & future interns alike.
She covers working, yes, but also dating, boundaries, and
feeling good as a woman.
This video speech, from the Google Zeitgeist conference,
explains not only why Adam founded PoP, but also why we do what we do and what
happens when catastrophe shakes us up—for good and bad. For anyone struggling
to find their way.
This job search engine is for anyone wanting to do social good
in some form or another—whether with the government or a private company. Even
if you’re just looking to intern or volunteer or research organizations, this
website is addicting and resourceful.
On
social good:
What
is GOOD? This content-driven website includes news on everything Good from
environment to business to health and reminds us, in our darkest times, where
to look for hope and how to return to a world we’re proud of being a part of.
Something
about this kinetic typography video on Halfsies, a nonprofit dedicated to
solving world hunger in its own way, draws you in instantly. And it is so easy,
really, to see it in action.
Each
month, a love letter request is sent, en-mass, to community members who mail in
a love letter for the needy individual(s). Writers, this is for you.
No,
this has nothing to do with dairy products. It’s actually a daily digest of
good happening all around, starting with fair trade projects and movers and
shakers and expanding from there. If you want to buy responsibly or link with
world-changers, this is for you.
On learning:
Technology. Entertainment. Design. Ideas worth spreading. That’s
the premise behind this global series of 18-minute talks by some of the world’s
leading entrepreneurs and world-changers. The best part? You can search the
website by keyword OR by how it makes you feel (inspiring, for instance).
If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new language but didn’t want to
spend the money for classes or software, visit Memrise. You can learn about 200
different languages, online, for free. The concept is simple: grow your words
like flowers, water them over time, and continue to expand until you have a
rich knowledge. And it’s fun.
This site, named in reference to a quote by Edison, houses all
sorts of articles on happiness, creativity, marketing, inspiration,
inventiveness, and more. And you can search by those very terms on the site,
too.
