I'm drawn to DSSG Solve because it’s the kind of work where purpose and skill genuinely meet.
As a data analyst, I’m used to helping businesses make better decisions, but applying those same skills to solve real-world problems like protecting wildlife, supporting communities, or advancing sustainability feels far more meaningful.
I enjoy finding patterns others miss, translating complex data into something that sparks action. If I can use those abilities to drive positive impact, that’s time well spent. Plus, volunteering with data projects is a great way to grow, collaborate with like-minded people, and apply my experience to causes I care about.
It’s the kind of work that feels like giving back.
