Testimonials:
” I love being a Net Impact consultant to Rubicon National Social Innovations. It has been very exciting to work with other like minded-individuals where we are all pursuing a singular goal, getting a social enterprise up and running! This experience has been a great way to give back; while at the same time giving me the opportunity to gain experience in a sector I’m very interested in – social entrepreneurship. I highly recommend participating in future Net Impact Service Corps projects to anyone who is looking for a fulfilling service experience.” - Jade Rex
