We're looking to increase our contributions to the social sector here in Singapore, and will be having a monthly meeting for volunteers who want to do more. These will be working sessions which can include:

• DataJams where data is cleaned and prepped for further analysis,

• Clinics for social sector organisations to drop in and ask data-related questions, and

• Planning sessions for wider community events.

Important to note

• Unlike a normal meetup, if you sign up but don't show, you will be depriving our non-profit partners of other volunteers who can be there to help them. Please be considerate when you sign up, thank you.

• Please understand that no food will be provided, so do make preparations to grab a bite before you turn up. Also, it would be great if you bring your own water bottle along with your laptop and power cable too.
