From the interwebs this week, I've heard about these NTEN members doing their nptechie-thing: Amy Sample Ward reports on the new opportunity on YouTube to connect nonprofits with video volunteers, with the help of allforgood.org. Nonprofits can submit needs; video-savvy volunteers can connect with a cause. What do y'all think?
