Lots of cool saving the world going on in the social media stratosphere!
Check out this awesome site. Jobs for Change is a project of Change.org; their goal is "to spark a nationwide movement toward careers in the common good – including nonprofit, government, and social enterprise jobs. We’re currently building a huge database of social change jobs with our partners and have just hired a team of career advisors who will be blogging every day to provide guidance on finding and developing a career in social change."
Hey! I wonder if there might be synergies between them and Job Angels...? Talk amongst yourselves... :)
And in other news, Light, Camera, Help has launched! The Austin-based film festival judges will evaluate "films and videos with a cause directly related to a non-profit or grass roots organization", proceeds go to the winner. "This festival is the first of its kind in the nation and reflects the spirit of Austin, a city with prominent non-profit, grassroots and activism communities. Non-profits, grassroots organizations and filmmakers will use the festival to spread the word about their cause, develop a community of followers, and expand the film-for-a-cause genre." - Submit Your Entry now - you only have til June 30.

Thanks for participating in Blogging for a cause. As we're counting one charity/non-profit per blog post, which one are you endorsing here as there a few good links in the blog post? :)

Great leads - great call-outs - more importantly a great way to demonstrate how you can build partnerships using the new tools available. Also given the Decision to Volunteer study results which pointed out clearly the connection between doing good and finding professional benefits, this gives a glimpse of how we in associations can make those connections and draw in our members.
