Are you wondering how to respond to President Obama’s call to service? A number of local organizations in Seattle offer great resources for serving as a volunteer, including skills-based volunteerism and board service training.
Panelists at EPIP's Philanthropology workshop suggested that next generation philanthropy professionals stay grounded by volunteering for a local nonprofit. It will help remind you of what it's like to be on the fundraising/service delivery side of the fence, and will also help keep you critical of your own practices, while you are immersed in theirs.

if your readers are interested in enhancing their work experience, they should consider making their professional skills available to volunteer coordinators... that's our goal of a recently launched website: www.zoosa.org
I'd love to hear what you think if you have a few moments to check it out!
