Second Day

Today, the best-educated, most diverse generation in American history has entered the workforce with a strong desire to do good. At the same time, the status quo of professional success often funnels young people into jobs that do not excite them, challenge them, or inspire them. We believe that the barriers keeping the brightest minds of our society from working on the most important problems are artificial and surmountable, and we are determined to make those barriers obsolete. At Second Day, our goal is to change the norm that young people feel forced to decide between doing good for the world or doing well for themselves. We want to provide access to social impact jobs that serve a mission or cause but also allow for career development, salary, and meaningful work. Ultimately, our goal is to make far more of those jobs available so that solving the world’s most challenging social issues becomes the most prestigious, respected, and desired career path available.
