- In their own words
- “Idealist came to life in the summer of 1995—on one old computer and with no full-time staff—to help connect people around the world with opportunities to do good. As we evolved, we gradually became known as the leading social-impact career site in the United States, with more than 1.2 million jobs and 200,000 internships posted so far. At the same time, volunteer opportunities have always been an important part of our mission, and in early 2025, we merged with VolunteerMatch , the largest online platform for volunteering.” About page
