Meet the Founder
If there’s one question I’ve been asked more than anything else, it’s this:
“Where do you even find all these opportunities?”
From scholarships and delegations to internships and youth forums, I’ve spent years navigating early-career pathways in the impact space. And one thing became obvious: young people aren’t held back by a lack of ambition, they’re held back by a lack of access.
I’ve always believed success happens when preparation meets opportunity. But what does preparation matter if you’re ready and the opportunities never reach you?
Again and again, I saw the same gap: the people already in the room keep getting invited back, and the people trying to break in don’t even know the room exists. The information is out there but it’s scattered, invisible or locked behind networks that most young people don’t have.
And being involved in the sector myself, I started seeing it from the other side too.
Most impact organisations can’t afford to post on traditional job boards. Listing a single role can cost hundreds or thousands, money that, for a not-for-profit, comes directly out of program funding and impact work. So the roles never get advertised widely. Young people don’t see them. Organisations don’t reach fresh talent. Everyone loses.
That’s why I started Opportune.
We curate opportunities that are relevant, values-driven and actually reachable, internships, jobs, volunteering, grants, leadership programs and pathways that young people can realistically step into.
Opportune isn’t just a list, it’s a youth-led access ecosystem built on visibility, community, and momentum. We share what we find, open doors for each other and make sure no one misses out just because they weren’t “in the loop.”
Because no one gets anywhere alone, and everyone deserves a fair shot at something they’re built for. That’s Opportune: a platform closing the gap between youth potential and impact-sector possibility.
