What we’re about
If you have an interest in data and putting it into action for social good please join us at Data for Good - Calgary.
Data For Good is a collective of volunteer do-gooders, using our technical knowledge and skills to help make our communities better through data. We help nonprofit and social organizations harness the power of their data through analytics and visualizations in order to leverage their impact in the community.
Data for Good in Calgary works with organizations in the nonprofit / social sector in a number of ways;
- Datathons - weekend events that involve a large number of volunteers focusing on analytics & visualizations with organizations that have a lot of data and are relatively advanced in their data practices
- Partner Projects – volunteer assistance to nonprofits
- Micro Projects – member-led and short duration
- Monthly Meetups - usually on the 4th Thurs of the month but dates may vary
