Hey Martyna, might I suggest getting in contact with High Impact Professionals? In addition to your financial contributions, they might be able to suggest opportunities to donate your skills.
Is there any chance you could share what field you are in? It might be worth asking around to see how many EAs are in that field and forming some kind of group or network. For example, there is a network of EAs working in supply chain and logistics, which I found surprising given how niche the area is, but I suppose the thing about these communities is that they often just need a single person driving them.
Thank you so much! I didn’t know of HIP, I’ll definitely try it out.
Wow, what a great idea with the group, I would love that. I’m a user experience designer, more of a generalist due to several circumstances. I just found out there is a EA Creatives and Communicators Slack - that’s a start but I’m not a content creator, artist, or communicator, I’m much deeper in corporate IT and I’m aiming at hi-tech companies for a number of reasons. If there would be any UX researchers/designers/writers interested in climbing the ladder of hi-tech IT I would be unspeakably happy to join it!
Joined, but truth be told, I don’t have high hopes. From my experience, most of SW-related groups/slacks/discords are rather related to AI, high-impact startups, or ngo projects. I haven’t met any uxd’s there yet. But thank you!

I don’t know if Sendwave has anything like this currently, but it wouldn’t surprise me if they do at some point. https://www.sendwave.com/careers#
Thank you so much! They have nothing for me atm, but I’m adding them to my watchlist.

No worries, thank you so much for the tip. I have not expected to receive so many hints, it’s a bit intimidating, but I’m very grateful. :)
