One of them was to do volunteer work for an organization that is in need of your talents, and yesterday on ASTD’s LinkedIn group, I came across one such volunteer opportunity. The contact (company president Tegan Acree) has told me that they would be open to allowing designers/developers to use the work in their portfolios. They are creating coaching modules for job seekers and Tegan says they can use all the help they can get.
For more information, contact Tegan at tacree@hiringforhope.org and view information about the company on their LinkedIn page.
