This month, I took on a new volunteer project working with Taproot Foundation, an organization of professional marketing, IT, and strategy management consultants that work pro bono with non-profits to provide services such as website development, and marketing strategy.
I’ll be posting more as the project progresses, but so far, I’m really impressed with the organization and the other professionals I’m working with on the project. It’s a great chance to build my skills, and make an immediate impact on my community.
If you’re looking to volunteer your time and skills to some very worthwhile non-profit organizations in your area, check them out.
If you already work with Taproot and want to help raise awareness, here’s some code you can add to your blog to display the little badge I created for the upper right corner of my website.
