Technology Training for Nonprofits at Google

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

9am-5pm

Join us for a one day training event for Bay Area nonprofits and social justice organizations, hosted at the Google offices in Mountain View, California!

This is a great opportunity to work with three different organizations--Community Technology Network, Aspiration, and Google--offering support to empower you with tech skills so you can magnify your social justice passions and priorities. Please join us!

During this 1 day event, nonprofit staff will have the opportunity to:

  • better understand how to assess and engage their online audiences
  • coordinate various online channels including web, email and social media
  • work with volunteers from Google

Who?

The training is targeted at grassroots nonprofit organizations focused on social change.

The workshops will be highly interactive, following a question-driven format and employing hands-on exercises. Participants will be encouraged to bring their real-world needs and challenges to the discussion.

Maximum of 2 people per organization in order to serve more nonprofits.

What?

The day includes morning and afternoon sessions filled with small group workshops, one-on-one Google mentoring training sessions, and a chance to meet other nonprofit leaders.

 

Aspiration will hold small group seminars focusing on online communications for grassroots nonprofits. The learning will be hands-on, and topics may include:

  • How can I write a good email message and send to thousands of folks?
  • How can I track where my nonprofit and issues are being mentioned online?
  • How can I use social media to support campaigns and advocacy?
  • How can I better organize my online communications?
  • What should I know about security and privacy? What is safe online?

Additional topics will be added in response to participant requests. Let us know what you want to learn, and we'll try to supply the same!


Community Technology Network is coordinating one-on-one opportunities for nonprofit staff to work with volunteers from Google. Space is limited, priority will be given to early registrants.
