Create change. Be Changed.
Philips Foundation and MovingWorlds invite you to apply the skills you use at work every day to help mission-driven ventures expand healthcare access in underserved communities — and grow as a leader in the process.
Put your skills behind the people re-imagining our future.
We’ve built a global network of impact businesses, including ventures in Philips Foundation's own impact investment portfolio, working on everything from AI-powered cancer screening to last-mile community health delivery. These enterprises have the vision and the local trust, but they need your professional expertise to grow. This isn’t "volunteering"—it’s a professional partnership where your daily skills help a mission-driven business change the world.

Real-world experience is the best teacher.
You can’t master global leadership in a classroom — you have to practice it. This virtual experience provides the specific environment needed to build core leadership muscles like:
Adaptive Problem Solving
The Experience: Taking your expertise into an entirely new market—remotely—where you can’t rely on "the way we've always done it."
The Growth: You'll sharpen your ability to absorb new information quickly, pivot your approach in real time, and find new ways to apply the skills you already have.
Entrepreneurial Mindset
The Experience: Working side-by-side with a founder building something from scratch — tight resources, small team, fast pace.
The Growth: You'll build the resourcefulness and bias-to-action of an entrepreneur — creating momentum and structure where none existed before.
Confidence to Lead in New Settings
The Experience: Relying on your own judgment to make decisions and recommendations, without the usual layers to check in with.
The Growth: You'll prove that your skills are transferable and genuinely impactful — building the confidence to step into new challenges, back in your full-time role and beyond.
