What interests you about the social impact sector?

The multidisciplinary aspect of the social impact sector drew in into this field. Being able to combine my interests and passion to serve a greater purpose is what kept me interested in this field. The social impact sector is so important in that you can make changes that have a direct impact on the communities and people they serve. Working in a sector that is constantly changing is exciting and is very rewarding!
