How do you choose between multiple job offers after college graduation #Fall25?
I am currently a junior in university, and have secured 2 full-time job offers through past internships. I am also currently freelancing as an independent contractor with 2 other organizations, both of which expressed interest in having me continue beyond my time as a student. Once I graduate, how do I decide between which full-time/freelancing offers to take? What are the pros and cons of juggling multiple jobs/contracts? For some context, I mostly do nonprofit management work, so entry-level salaries are ~$65,000/yr and contract work is ~$25/hr for 10-15 hrs/wk.
Would this youth human rights nonprofit idea be impactful and worth pursuing?
Hi! I’m a 17-year-old senior from Indiana developing a national youth-led human rights nonprofit focused on empowering underserved and displaced youth through education, storytelling, and advocacy training—giving them the tools to speak for themselves. Im trying to fill a growing gap in schools and communities: while STEM is prioritized, human rights and civics education are often ignored. Millions of young people grow up without knowing their basic rights—or how to protect them. Even in developed nations, marginalized youth (immigrants, foster children, and minorities) rarely receive legal literacy—and when abuse or injustice happens, reporting systems are confusing, unsafe, or in another language. My nonprofit would focus on things like bringing rights education to schools, shelters, refugee centers, and communities. Giving youth a platform to share their own stories, instead of being covered by journalists. Connecting youth with scholarships, legal aid info, and mental health resources. Also training students to teach rights education and lead advocacy programs. Before launching, I’d love to know from mentors and professionals: Does this sound like a mission you’d want to support or volunteer with? What makes a nonprofit like this stand out or succeed long-term? Any advice on making this idea realistic and scalable? Thank you so much for your feedback—it means a lot as I work to build something that helps youth everywhere find their voice and know their rights.
