  Everything you need to know to effectively tap into the goodwill of others.

  A tech nonprofit secret? Getting free help is easy. One of the (many) awesome things about being a social impact startup is that people care about your mission. If given the chance, they’ll jump aboard through crowdsourcing or pro bono engagements. But getting this free help isn’t actually free – you have to manage those helping you. Sometimes it’s worth it, and sometimes it’s not. CareerVillage.org Founder and Executive Director Jared Chung is here to help you make free help worth the work. You’ll leave knowing: 

  • How to get free help through crowdsourcing and pro bono
  • How to manage crowdsourcing and pro bono so they’re worth you & your organization’s time
  • And other secrets to volunteer success
