[Impact investors] Volunteer opportunities with consulting / VC / PE skillset in non-profit / mission sectors (e.g., climate)

Hi all - I have a consulting / VC / PE skillset and am currently in an hours-lite job looking to get involved in some sort of climate fund. I am a jack of all trades master of none with primary experience in structuring partnerships of all sorts, financial modeling, pricing, new market entry strategy, primary research, (investment evaluation), with secondary expertise in fundraising, talent sourcing, and very limited exposure to operations and marketing, and no experience in other areas such as tech or sales, to name two of many. However, in aggregate I have notable experience from blue chip firms that have conferred a strong business acumen.

I am looking to get involved using my skillsets in either a non-profit or a mission focused for-profit company. I am thinking about things like climate change funds (know nothing about the space), income share agreement funds (believe in the asset class), or climate change related startups. However I am looking to do something high leverage (e.g., not looking to organize a letter writing campaign).

I am asking for this: If you are an impact investor and know portfolio companies that could use help, please comment their names in this thread. If you know a fund that could use some help, even better, please let me know. Best of all, if you know a non-profit that could use help that you think is a valuable cause, please let me know.

Lastly, and a secondary ask, if you're aware of high impact conferrals (e.g., World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders that are meaningfully substantive, please let me know as well. (I am just shy of 5y experience otherwise would do WEF YGL).

Thank you very much.
