Resource Hub: Freelance & Fractional Pathways in Climate and Social Impact
If you’re here, you are considering an alternative path to climate and social impact. WELCOME! With the current state of the job market, layoffs, challenges in hiring, and many funding changes across the climate and social impact space, another strategy is gaining traction for finding impactful work: self-employment (also known as freelance, fractional leadership, consulting, solopreneurship, or a portfolio career). If any of those words resonate with you, and you’re curious to figure out how to navigate this pathway, this resource will guide you through the process step by step.
