For everyone who’s working to save the world.
Because making change hits different 9 to 5.
Our workforce is full of people who clock in to change the world — literally. Social impact professionals show up to work through complex crises, ever-changing career contexts, and emotional burnout, all in the name of our best collective future. But rarely is this community afforded the space to fill its own cup.
So let’s create it.
Issue Space is a community for professional changemakers of every kind. We hold space to process life in the unique – and uniquely needed – business of impact.
Our vision is a social impact workforce that grows and thrives — so that we all can.

From our Founder
Hello and welcome to Issue Space! I’m Cat, an inclusive social impact strategist and one of many people who wanted to put my professional skills to work for positive causes.
So after years of working in entertainment, I made a leap to pursue a different kind of culture work — social impact. I didn’t know where to start, but I was embraced by a brilliant, driven, generous, devoted community of colleagues, and it opened the door to a new sense of professional purpose for me and exciting opportunities for changemaking through the work we created together.
That was 2016. In the years since I jumped sectors, I’ve witnessed the intensity and complexity of this unique professional life. Now more than ever, we need the people pursuing purpose-driven work to be affirmed in their career paths, empowered to experiment and grow, and sustained to see through the changes we need. We need social impact professionals to thrive because their work is part of how we all win.
So in 2022, I began dreaming. And in 2024, Issue Space was introduced to this workforce and world.
Issue Space is a relatively simple offering to the social impact landscape, but, I believe, an important one. Through this venture, I curate dedicated spaces and conversations meant to spark unity, candor, affinity, and recognition to the professional social impact community, laying the foundation for a sector that grows and thrives — so that we all can.
Thank you for being a part of it.
In community,
P.S. I wrote a piece about why I think supporting the day-to-day professionals who choose social change careers is an important move for us all. You can read it here.
