More Than a Job: How to Build a Career with Purpose

A meaningful career isn't about finding one perfect path - it's about understanding what matters most to you.

As you explore internships, first jobs, graduate school, and future career possibilities, it can be difficult to balance practical considerations like salary and stability with the desire to make a meaningful impact.

Join Teach For America for this interactive virtual workshop designed to help you think through one of the biggest career questions you'll face: What does meaningful work look like for you? You'll leave with practical tools to evaluate opportunities, make more intentional career decisions, and build a career that reflects both what you care about and how you want to contribute.

? During this workshop, you'll:

• Reflect on the values, experiences, and strengths that matter most to you


• Explore what meaningful work can look like across different careers and industries


• Practice evaluating career opportunities beyond titles and salaries


• Create a simple framework for making more intentional career decisions

?? This workshop is a great fit if you...

• Are exploring internships, first jobs, or graduate school


• Feel torn between choosing a practical career and pursuing meaningful work


• Want more clarity about what you're looking for in your future career

Whether you're exploring Teach For America or simply thinking about your next step, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what meaningful work looks like for you.

?? Reserve your spot today - we'd love to learn with you!
