Impact Investing Course Project Manager

Impact Investing Course Project Manager volunteers

CrowdDoing.world is building an impact investing course for social entrepreneurs. We have content experts involved and have already recorded hours of it. We need Impact Investing Course Project Manager volunteers to to help us reach our target audience. We will then leverage our storytellers to ensure this information reaches people in a way that makes it accessible.

Volunteers should have comfort in collaborating in an inter-disciplinary capacity on instructional design.

The only way CrowdDoing.world can realize its impact potential is through virtual volunteers,service learners(http://blog.reframeit.com/service-learning-and-skilled-volunteering/), and micro-leaders (https://real-leaders.com/leveraging-micro-leadership-to-make-aspirational-goals-achievable/) coming together.

See this brief video aboutMicro-leadership at CrowdDoing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhdB2YJ8Ocs&app=desktop). Micro-leadership means that each person adopts a dimension of responsibility for a collective problem in our society through collaborating on that area creatively individually and together through social innovation.
