An old Yaqui Indian proverb says, “If you have a choice of paths to take in life, take the path with a heart.” Compassionate Careers will show you how.

“Life’s too short for you not to wholeheartedly pursue your gifts and passions. If you find the right mission and the right role within that mission, that’s such a powerful thing. But Compassionate Careers also does a favor for people in that it’s not candy coated. There are real tradeoffs, and it helps people think about how to navigate that path.” —Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity
