What Is Gigs for Good?

Gigs for Good is Parker Dewey’s national initiative that helps organizations engage emerging talent through funded Micro‑Internships — short-term, project-based assignments designed to create access, equity, and impact in the workforce.

These opportunities are fully-funded, so employers can work with early-career professionals without adding to their budgets.

✔️ Real work, real value
✔️ Paid for students, free for employers
✔️ Social impact aligned with diversity initiatives
✔️ Talent discovery through real deliverables
✔️ Fast, flexible, low-lift for hiring managers
