Volunteering and Jobs > About the Work

  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.
