Welcome back to another episode of "Talking Purpose"! Today, we're diving into the transformative world of freelancing and social impact with our special guest, Michelle Baltrusitis, senior manager of social impact and community at Fiverr. Michelle joins us to share her inspiring career journey and to unpack how Fiverr, the global marketplace connecting freelancers with businesses in over 700 categories, supports entrepreneurs at all levels.
In this episode, we'll explore Fiverr's diverse range of programs designed to uplift communities and drive positive social change. From the Future Collective accelerator that empowers underrepresented entrepreneurs with capital, mentorship, and education, to the Fiverr for All initiative that upskills formerly incarcerated individuals, Fiverr is at the forefront of creating economic opportunities and fostering freelancer well-being.
Michelle will also shed light on the various impact measurement tools that Fiverr employs to ensure their programs are both effective and scalable. We'll delve into exciting upcoming initiatives like the NGO hub set to launch later this year, aimed at building robust support systems for nonprofits.
Get ready to be inspired as we discuss how Fiverr is not just connecting businesses with freelancers but also driving meaningful social impact through community-driven programs and strategic partnerships.
So, settle in and join us as we explore the impactful work being done by Fiverr and the visionary leadership of Michelle Baltrusitis.
