About the audience:
In our virtual audience, we welcome high school or university students, those on a gap year, career shifters or anyone looking for inspiration. They join the panels for the familiar setting and honest sharing. The event is usually 1,5-hour long, no pre-cooked presentation is necessary, because you will participate in a moderated but informal discussion. You will receive a shortlist of questions tailored specifically for your panel, and you will meet the fellow panellists and moderators before the actual panel.

We’re looking for volunteers throughout the year to do research, transcribe interviews, fundraise, contribute to our blog and more—on your own schedule and from anywhere in the world.
As a mentor
Mentorship is an integral part of our multi-day programmes (currently, Youth Week): each mentor works with a participant in the six months following the programme (September 2022 - February 2023). The goal is support participants in their project or career development: to stay on track, troubleshoot and innovate. As a mentor, you'll have six calls with your mentee in that six-month period and be available for occasional emails. It's a great way to share your experience with the next generation and to make a difference to an individual on your own schedule!
Interested? You can find more details here. The mentorship application can be found here, and feel free to contact us at mentor@careersinthecommongood.com with any questions.
As a sponsor or donor
We welcome in-kind donations and other forms of support, primarily for Youth Week.
Would you like ambitious, talented and open-minded youth to learn about your company or university? This is your chance to get in touch with them. They're all searching for a path with impact where they can use their skills and enthusiasm.
We welcome small presents for facilitators and participants (merchandise), stationary, booklets, snacks and drinks; and prizes for projects and participants with distinction.
Contact us if you are interested in our PR deals. This is your opportunity for increased visibility of your brand. Not only will our participants remember you, but so will our site visitors from all over Europe and overseas.
