What are you most passionate about? Is it the environment? World hunger? Your local community?

With so much going on in the world today, many people wish they could do more to help. A recent Korn Ferry global survey shows that what employees really long for on the job is to do work that has purpose and meaning. This rings especially true for millennials, according to research from Deloitte. Essentially, people want to do work that will make a difference.

That being said, changing the world is impossible to do all by yourself. But as part of a larger organization, making an impact on the world can be a lot more attainable.

Recently, Fortune released their annual list of companies working to solve societal problems. We took a look at some of the top companies on Fortune’s list to see which ones are hiring on Monster right now. See if you can do some good at one of the companies below.
