A half hour conversation on how to get involved with the nonprofits that motivate you and can work with you to make a difference in people’s lives with your skills. We will review practical suggestions on how to find nonprofits you love, get engaged with them and understand their problems, volunteer with them and help specific projects, and dive deep into guidance on trying to land a job at a nonprofit. We will wrap up with a review of some useful open data sets that can be helpful to you in your research and planning.
