Stories

Volunteering is not all serving meals and building homes (though those are very generous activities that we will never advise against) but with technology forever evolving, all aspects of our community are following suit which means that nonprofit organizations are finding a need to keep up just as much as any other business.

Whether you are tech-savvy or creatively inclined, your skill set could benefit a nonprofit that is struggling to stay relevant online and in the world of social media. Consider lending your digital skills as a volunteer effort in your community. If you are interested in the chance to show off your graphic and creative design, web development, or IT skills here are a few ways you can give of your time!
