What kind of work would those with technical skills do in this sector? |
| |
|
Just as it would be impossible to identify any one job trait that could characterize for-profit technology jobs, it is equally impossible to do the same for nonprofits. As a technical worker in one of these organizations, you might find yourself doing
anything from building a website or wiring a public school, to programming software or working on computer mapping technologies. The work done will vary greatly from position to position.

|
What if I want to work with one of these organizations, but I have no technology-related skills? |
| |
|
Technology nonprofits aren't solely staffed by geeks. These organizations need managers, program directors, fund-raisers, and other non-technical employees just as much as any other nonprofit does. The biggest pre-requisite for working with any nonprofit is a
real dedication and interest for the cause.

|
|
What hours do people work? |
| |
|
The hours worked by most employees range from 40-60 hours a week, much like any organization.
