Connected for Change Tech Day will bring together a community of collaborators to build capacity for nonprofits. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with nonprofits to create solutions to a pressing challenge that their organization is facing right now! Any individual who is interested in using their skills to help support a nonprofit can sign up to be a volunteer, or as we call it, a pro bono consultant. You will join a team of up to four other individuals to work together for a 1-day virtual event to tackle a challenge put forward by a local nonprofit.

The commitment:

• Pre-work: (1) Attend or watch 30-minute minute training on 11/12, (2) participate in an up to 60-minute scoping call with your volunteer team and nonprofit to get acquainted and to finalize the scope of the project & agenda for the Connected day, call scheduled at some time between 11/17 - 11/28 based on the team's availability
• Virtually attend Connected for Change Tech Day on Friday, Dec 5th from 9 am - 3 pm Central Time

Each team of volunteers is comprised of:

• 1 Project Lead - They are responsible for scheduling a scoping call prior to the day of event. During both the scoping call and the day, they help facilitate the meeting, guiding the team through the agendas, keeping folks on task and conversation flowing, inclusive of all voices. Project leads do not need to have expertise in all aspects of the challenge, but rather have strong leadership and facilitation skills.
• 2-3 Pro Bono Consultants - Pro bono consultants give their time and expertise to the challenge, supporting the nonprofit and team in finding a solution and working toward the agreed upon deliverable.
• Commonly needed volunteer skillsets include, but are not limited to: data management, website audit, website development, process analysis and improvement, website database, and CRM
