JULY 27, 2015

I just returned from doing two days of facilitating a Networked Nonprofit training in Mexico City with Oxfam Mexico and participants from offices throughout Latin America, South America, and Caribbean. The first day focused on networks and strategic use of social media along with some practical skills in content creation and measurement.

For those with visual impairments, a cane can be a useful tool for navigating sidewalks, busy spaces, and life in general. But what if a cane could help somebody with low or no vision detect faces?

…for starters, it’s in everyone else’s pockets. 91% of adults have their phone within arm’s reach 24/7. I know that it’s tough for nonprofits to find the budget and the time to make sure your website is responsive, but your donors, volunteers, activists and even your board members expect it. You don't want these audiences visiting your site from their phones and tablets and then be forced to look at a different site because your site looked funky, and was hard to read and search for info.

With an undeniable spark, the fire is sure to spread. This past week, four Nonprofit Hub staffers were volunteering at a leadership workshop for middle and high schoolers. This was my first year on the volunteer staff, and it was every bit as eye-opening for me as it was for the students attending the workshop. After all, when you work in the nonprofit sector, you’re constantly looking for ways to improve your own organization and glean any ounce of insight from other nonprofits.

I was born and raised in the Northeast, where the joke is there are four seasons—almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction. Like any good New Englander, I curse winter for about eight straight months and wonder why in the world I even live here. And now, during one of the few days of the year when I’m not plagued with seasonal affective disorder, why am I excitedly planning for next March?
