Charities@Work Webinar: Pro Bono Volunteerism
Join us Tuesday, April 12, at 1:00 PM ET, for a free webinar titled “Pro Bono Volunteerism: Challenges and Solutions.” Pro bono volunteerism is hot with companies of all sizes trying to offer skills-based and pro bono volunteer opportunities to their employees. Although the popularity of this type of volunteerism has risen, the number of available opportunities has not. What is causing this imbalance and how can companies address this growing discrepancy?
Join us and listen to Dr. Linda Gornitsky of LBG Associates share the results of her latest research study, which examines the challenges of pro bono volunteerism and suggests solutions to help fix this imbalance. Register here: http://bit.ly/1VA9Xzr
