Our Story

How we got here

Civic Impact Workforce was founded on a simple idea: the world needs more people in mission-driven work—and mission-driven organizations need the right people to thrive.

For too long, these opportunities have been scattered and overlooked. We built a modern career hub that brings them into the spotlight, creating connections that drive real change.

Today, we partner with thousands of organizations to help them find talent—and help job seekers find work that makes a difference.
