🌎 Find out how you can use your professional skills for good and support environmental nonprofits: https://hubs.la/Q02T62S-0 Thank you to our partner Patagonia and to volunteers like Christopher Jones for using the power of pro bono to protect our planet. #ClimateChange #conservation #environment #SkillsBasedVolunteering
Here's something I am very proud of: I've donated over $10,000 worth of work in the last two months to environmental nonprofits. This work included project management, creative asset production, and fundraising campaign management. How'd I do this? Through Catchafire via Patagonia. Catchafire is a platform that connects nonprofits with volunteers; after looking for work for 9+ months in this dismal market, all while directing a short film, I *needed* to find other ways to give back to the world, and to stop ranting about AI on LinkedIn. So I signed up on Catchafire, and connected with nonprofits doing equity, conservation, and sustainability work across the world. I highly recommend this path to anyone looking to give back. In the words of Noam Chomsky: “If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.” There are some volunteers who have given 10x what I have. Our world needs us. Consider giving back. https://lnkd.in/g4HS-RQc
