You're reading the TechSoup blog, so you're probably already comfortable with using technology in your work. But there are millions of nonprofit staffers who don't have the skills to use technology to do more good. work. In fact, you probably know a few of these beginners.
You can help your tech-shy NGO friends cross the digital divide by bringing them to a nonprofit tech meetup. These events, which are being organized in 60 cities across the globe, are friendly and accessible to all members of the community, no matter their level of expertise. This month's highlights include a review of cost-saving technologies in Rhode Island, a discussion on how technology can help build community in Los Angeles, and a case study on the importance of weaving IT in to your strategic plans in Las Vegas.
Upcoming Events
Every month our global network of community organizers host Tech4Good events in more than 60 cities. Join us!
This roundup of face-to-face nonprofit tech events includes meetups from NetSquared, NTEN's Tech Clubs and HandsOn Tech. If you're holding monthly events gathering the #nptech community let me know and I'll include you in the next community calendar, or apply today to start your own NetSquared group.
