I was looking for non-profits in my home town that works towards spreading awareness on issues that aren't getting talked about enough. that's when I found SIM. The work they've done over the past few years have not only spread awareness to issues that I care about, but also brought awareness to me about issues I didn't even know about. I knew I had to get involved, so I started volunteering in the beginning of this summer.
SIM could well be regarded as the "SDG connoisseurs" in the South Florida area, and their dedication and proficiency in addressing the SDGs is admirable. SIM goes above and beyond to provide help and educating about SDGs in the Miami community.
SIM has been for years the "to-go" organization for the SDGs in Miami. Their founders have dedicated their life to SIM's mission and have really left an impact on Miami's society. Companies can now to embrace SIM's programs to raise awareness, educate, and inspire our community to take action on social issues such as: social justice, economic progress, and environmental challenges.
Social Impact Movement has really inspired me to bring in the SDGs into my work. I am a fashion designer and it’s been so insightful to learn through SIMs extensive events and panels more about the SDGs and ways in which I can bring them into my practice. This is a wonderful nonprofit made up of exceptional people.

I met the Social Impact Movement team at a Town Hall Meeting for Equal Pay and Living Wage last school year, and I have been in contact with them ever since. I am so lucky to have met such a great group of people who care and devote their lives to sustainable development and improving our Miami community. I am an advocate and changemaker for Equal Pay, which falls under Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), Gender Equality. SIM has been so helpful in supporting my efforts to empower young women in the Miami community, and it even created a platform for me to facilitate my salary negotiation workshops to high school girls.

The Social Impact Movement has connected us to events and resources linked to the UN SDG’s. Because of the great work of this organization, our organization Bracelets for Commitment has been able to accomplish so many incredible things. Miami’s impact on the UN SDG’s would be significantly weaker without the hard work the Social Impact Movement does!! This is a wonderful Organization that more people should get involved with! Most of the partners we have found for our organization we met at events held by Social Impact Movement, we are forever grateful for the caliber of the community they always have at their events.
