moin moin, HandsOn Greater Phoenix has added a new program for helping volunteers volunteer for specific projects. For this to work they need volunteers to go through an orientation and they also need a list of skills. One of the ABLEconf organizers and I talked to Brandy about having the free software community volunteer as a group. They're not quite set up for that and we need to show that we're not a bunch of flakes :). If you're interested they have a couple of orientation sessions coming up. If you do work with HandsOn or any other similar organizations, please let me know. ### The HandsOn Skills program is currently recruiting volunteers with all kinds of professional and technical skills to help with projects at local nonprofit organizations. HandsOn Skills volunteers: • Serve as volunteer consultants. • Receive up to six hours of training on working effectively with nonprofits. • Work one-on-one or in small groups on short-term or long-term projects. HandsOn Skills volunteer orientations are being offered: August 8, 22 or 29 10am - 11:30am HandsOn Greater Phoenix 5151 N 19th Ave, Ste 200 Phoenix, AZ 85015 Sign up today! www.handsonphoenix.org 602.973.2212 x 226 brandy@handsonphoenix.org ### ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/ http://www.LuftHans.com/Classes/ # Hope has two beautiful daughters: Anger and Courage.
