Description
What if nonprofits had the same marketing, technology, HR and strategy resources as corporations? Taproot, a service that connects organizations with passionate, skilled volunteers through pro bono work, aims to do just that. Pro bono services enable organizations to drive social change with a connection of resources. When successful, these engagements build overall engagement, and open up channels for growth. This week, Alexandra Hallock, Senior Program Manager for the Taproot Foundation, joined Driving Participation to explore the relationship between an organization and its volunteers. Beth and Allie discuss the necessary components for a pro bono partnership, and what nonprofits can do to make the volunteer experience rewarding for all parties involved.
