Craigslist Boot Camp 2009: This Saturday, June 20

From Kara Montermoso, who will be at our table at Boot Camp!


This weekend, Craigslist Foundation will host its 6th annual Boot Camp for nonprofit organizations and individuals interested in making a difference in their communities nationwide. It will be held on Saturday, June 20, 2009, on the University of California, Berkeley campus. The all-day program focuses on skills for connecting, motivating and inspiring greater community involvement and impact with an emphasis on community-building and the opportunities for collaboration among individuals, businesses, government, philanthropists, and nonprofits.

Boot Campers will have the opportunity to meet nonprofit professionals, social entrepreneurs and passionate individuals and connect with the resources that can support their missions. Twenty-four workshops will be led by experts on topics such as fundraising, future technology, advocacy and lobbying, community building, marketing and messaging, strategic planning, and measuring success and impact. Learn more here.

After Boot Camp, Craigslist Foundation will host podcast recordings of the workshops online to give everyone a taste of the Boot Camp experience, even if they weren’t able to make it to Berkeley.

Idealist's Executive Director, Ami Dar, will be part of the closing ceremony panel discussion and we'll have a table in the Exhibitor's Hall. Come by and say hi!
