For everyone who’s working to save the world.
Because making change hits different 9 to 5.
Our workforce is full of people who clock in to change the world — literally. Purpose-led professionals show up to work through complex crises, ever-changing career contexts, and emotional burnout, all in the name of our best collective future. But rarely is this community afforded the space to fill its own cup.
So let’s create it.
Issue Space is a community for professional changemakers of every kind. We hold space to process life — and find our way — in the unique business of impact.
Our vision is a purpose workforce that grows and thrives — so that we all can.

From the Founder
CAT ADDO,
Social impact strategist, former music industry pro, and explorer in purpose-led work. Read a bit of my work story in Fast Company.
Hello there, and welcome to Issue Space!
I’m Cat, a social impact strategist and one of many people who once wanted to put my professional skills to work for positive causes.
So after years of working in entertainment, I made a leap to pursue a different kind of culture work — social impact. I didn’t know where to start, but I was embraced by a brilliant, driven, devoted community of colleagues. It opened the door to a new sense of professional purpose for me, exciting opportunities for change we could create together, and a knack I rediscovered for building intentional circles of real connection.
That was 2016. In the years since I jumped sectors, I’ve felt the intensity and complexity of this unique professional life. Now more than ever, we need the people pursuing positive societal work to be affirmed in their career paths, empowered to evolve and grow, and sustained to see through the changes we need. We need social impact professionals to thrive because their work is part of how we all win.
So in 2022, I began dreaming up a space that could hold this kind of career dream. And in 2024, Issue Space was introduced to this workforce and world.
Issue Space’s offering of good conversation, connection, and ~ vibes ~ is a relatively simple offering to the social impact landscape, but, I believe, an important one. Through this venture, I curate dedicated spaces and conversations meant to spark unity, candor, affinity, and recognition for professionals working with a purpose, laying the foundation for an impact community that grows and thrives — so that we all can.
Thank you for being a part of it.
