Blending non-profit and corporate worlds

Sticking with the Generation Y theme...

So, I recently read an article which discussed Generation Y's eagerness to volunteer through the work place. A study found that nearly 2/3's of young adults would prefer to work for a company that offers opportunities to assist non-profits.

I found this no surprise. So many students (including myself) would love to work for non-profit organizations, but aren't willing to sacrifice big paychecks. With growing numbers of companies offering social responsibility programs, employees can now get the best of both worlds.

With the cost of living is getting so high, employees have no choice but to work for large companies who can provide benefits and salaries. Students also have large loans to pay off and entry level, non-profit work doesn't usually pay the bills.

It's exciting to see companies blending non-profit and corporate work environments. There is hope to make change in the world and get paid well!
