If you work in a career service office at a university in the United States, take note: we are launching a new webinar series that will help you to understand and speak to the unique issues around the nonprofit career search.
From February to May, we'll offer our first series in order to provide greater accessibility to nonprofit-specific career search information. In it, we will employ a train-the-trainer approach, with all information being directly applicable to a diverse range of campuses and students as well as connected to curricula for use in your office. Each month, we will also be including an Expert Panel with guest professionals who can speak to how they most effectively use Idealist.
Webinar titles include:
* Welcome to Idealist (Wednesday, February 18): a comprehensive overview of the Idealist website
* What Job Seekers Need to Know About the Nonprofit Sector (Thursday, March 19): a discussion of the important nuts and bolts of the nonprofit sector and its hiring process
* International Volunteering and Service Opportunities (Wednesday, April 15): an examination of the range of international volunteering and full-time service corps opportunities
* Passion is Not Enough: Tips to Leverage Your Passion and Professional Experience into a Nonprofit Career: ways to help alumni and experienced professionals use Idealist tools and other careers-related resources in their job searches
Click here to read a full description of each workshop, and to learn more about the registration process.
Posted by Steve, who is genuinely looking forward to facilitating three of these webinars and hopes that you will join him. To read more Career Corner posts, click here.
As someone who has lived in New York City for a while, I've gotten used to seeing carts loaded beyond what I thought possible with cans and bottles. Each cart is packed with blue and clear transparent bags full of our unclaimed deposits as well as carelessly unrecycled waste.

I learned from our latest podcast, "Sure We Can," that the homeless people who typically collect these recyclables earn five cents per item because of New York State's "Returnable Container Act." Commonly known as a “Bottle Bill,” the act is intended to reduce litter, ease the burden on solid waste facilities and encourage recycling activity. For the people pulling those carts, it represents an honest income as well as lot of work.
This latest episode, produced by guest contributors Michael Premo and Rachel Falcone, is an audio portrait of Eugene “The King of Cans” Gadsden. With the help of his friends and colleagues Ana Martinez De Luco and Drew Swope, Eugene is working to organize the canning community to open a location where they can store and process their finds.

Okay, if there's anyone out there still doubting the power of the internet to build community and affect real change, please check out Twestival on February 12th. Twestival is an entirely volunteer-driven campaign to raise awareness and funds for an organization called charity: water, which has the worthy mission of helping to bring safe drinking water to developing nations.
Image courtesy charity: water
The coolest thing about Twestival: it's being hosted by Twitter communities in 175 different cities around the world. (What's a Twitter community? Members of the microblogging site Twitter who happen to live in the same city.) Each Twestival event is different; but all proceeds go to charity: water. If you can't attend on February 12th, or if there isn't one in your city, you can still make a donation, donate your music, or enter the t-shirt design competition.
This entry is by Hannah who is super excited to see this kind of volunteer-led online community organizing.
Earlier this week Google launched Latitude, a location-based service that physically maps your location and the locations of your Gmail contacts on your cell phone and iGoogle. Google isn't the only company to have thrown their hat into the location-based applications ring; the technology has been around since before Dodgeball (that's a long time) and two of the more mature and feature-rich services today are Loopt and Brightkite.
From Flickr user thms.nl
Unfortunately for most, our personal social networks aren't defined by Google and Gmail, making Latitude interesting but not yet useful. A more accurate representation of our personal relationships can be found on sites like Facebook and MySpace but until those sites launch there own mapping features, we'll have to settle with a less than accurate social map. On the bright side, the launch of Google's own service is a clarion call to the value of location-related applications.
Developing a fluid and accurate map of our social network for cell phones, Blackberries and iPhones is a post for another day, but the implications of the technology raises some interesting questions. The applications for commercial uses are as obvious as location-specific ad targeting but for the nonprofit sector it's less clear.
As the technology develops and reaches critical mass, we'll begin to see interesting uses in the nonprofit sector.
What uses might we see?
We'll have access to neighborhood focused volunteer opportunities from projects like The Extraordinaries and iVolunteer. We will effectively organize community-based initiatives and actions. We'll use social network oriented sites like MealBaby and FriendlyFavor that help us help each other. We'll be able to target advertising to the communities we serve and spread the message to the appropriate people. We will rally our friends and neighbors to quickly organize Carrot Mobs.
The technology has a while to go before it reaches critical mass and is interoperable with our entire social network but the potential is obvious.
What ideas do you have? What benefits do you see in this technology from an altruistic perspective?

As you're reading this, 28 brush fires have engulfed parts of Australia killing more than 166 people and destroying 700 homes. Tens of thousands of volunteer firefighters are desperately working to protect lives, preserve communities and save thousands of acres of land in what is Australia's worst disaster in decades.

Traditional media outlets remain a valued source of information but personally I found Twitter and FriendFeed to offer a better frame of reference than the big media sites. I quickly found news alerts, calls to action, personal accounts, prayers and photos, providing a perspective I wouldn't find on CNN or the New York Times.
We're now more connected than ever before, making tragedies like this increasingly personal while enabling us to leverage the global community to act ever more swiftly. While I still depend on the traditional media outlets for their coverage, I'll continue to turn to social media for the human experience.

At 12:00 noon Eastern today, The Chronicle of Philanthropy will host an online chat about careers in the nonprofit world.
Job application photo by twodolla
From the website:
As more and more employers -- for-profit and nonprofit -- lay off workers, charities are inundated with resumes from job seekers.
How can the leaders of nonprofit groups find the best candidates in a growing pool of applicants? What message should be sent to job seekers new to the nonprofit world? What can they do to make their applications stand out?
Readers are already submitting questions to the three panelists, Jody Armento, national human resources manager for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation; Kara Leppert, a partner with the executive search firm SBR (her clients include several national nonprofits); and Larry H. Slesinger, founder of Slesinger Management Services, an executive search consulting company whose clients include numerous nonprofit organizations.

The Idealist.org Grad School Blog Project is going strong with three new bloggers! We are also excited to introduce you to a couple of new and related podcasts.
A veteran of the Blog Project, Melissa Andrada blogs at The Moleskine: A Guide to Grad School and is in the Cultural Studies MSc Programme at the University of Edinburgh. Last month she launched a new podcast show featuring interviews with students and professors.
The Equal Justice Works Blog, led by Aaron Pickering, is the official blog of the organization Equal Justice Works, which aims to "ensure a sustainable pipeline of talented and trained lawyers involved in public service." The blog covers public interest law schools, news, trends, and student loan repayment issues. Equal Justice Works recently launched its own podcast series on student loan repayment issues. Aaron himself is a graduate student in political management at the George Washington University.
The Nursing New York blog is by Laura Jean Ridge, a newly minted registered nurse with a particular interest in HIV and AIDS. She is at Columbia University working on her Master's degree in Nursing, which will qualify her to work at a nurse practitioner. Her blog is about public health in New York City.
Finally, new addition J.P. Morris blogs at Graduate School Life as he studies International Affairs at The Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University.
The Blog Project is part of the Public Service Graduate Education Resource Center, which features articles and advice on a range of topics to help you consider your graduate education options. The Project now features 15 bloggers in all, including a University of Washington staffer who's pursuing a degree at Antioch in Seattle; a prospective art history student in Los Angeles; a prospective public health student in Phoenix, Arizona; the graduate admissions team at SIT's Program in Intercultural Service, Leadership, and Management; and a group of students at Milano the New School for Management and Urban Policy.

Last week we posted a podcast called Sure We Can, created by guest producers Michael Premo and Rachel Falcone. Their audio portrait tells the story of "canners"—people who collect recyclables then redeem each can or bottle for five cents—organizing their community to protect their work and one another. You can listen to the episode here.
By Flickr user schrapnel1
It's fast becoming one of our highest downloaded episodes, with themes that are familiar to tenant organizers and others who work on issues related to homelessness, and it's generating some connections for the group. Organizers of Sure We Can have been contacted by media outlets and by a shelter in East New York, with whom they'll meet to share ideas and resources.
Thanks again to everyone who has been listening and feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.
p.s. We love to work with guest producers. If you have a story to share, here's how you can contribute.

Valentine's Day need not induce anxiety over relationships, or a frenzy to buy confections in heart-shaped boxes. February 14 has been reclaimed as a day to raise awareness about violence against women.
Production of Vagina Monologues - by Flickr user steakpinball
V-Day is a global movement founded by Eve Ensler, the creator of The Vagina Monologues, which promotes creative events to increase awareness about violence against women and to raise money for existing anti-violence organizations.
This year V-Day is focusing on ending the atrocities committed against women in the ongoing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Visit the site to learn more about the situation and get involved in the campaign by putting pressure on elected officials or raising funds for on-the-ground V-Day projects in the DRC. You can even host your own "Congo Teach-In" using resources V-Day developed in collaboration with Enough: Raise Hope for Congo and STAND (the student-led division of Genocide Intervention Network).
Or attend one of hundreds of V-Day events taking place around the globe this week. Watch a benefit theatre production or screening and donate to support local organizations working to end violence against women in your own community.
Want to do even more? Conduct a search on Idealist.org and find a job, volunteer opportunity, or internship related to women's issues or the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A little bit more.
By Flickr user woodleywonderworks
No need to retell the tale of crisis and concern here. The challenges facing nations on every continent will take big responses, the kind of thing only governments, giant development NGOs, and international assistance organizations can do. But the present crisis is also made up of millions of small crises, happening to schools, community services, churches, theaters, families, museums, and libraries everywhere.
If you listen to the politicians and pundits, the problems are of such magnitude and complexity that they require solutions beyond the boundaries of everyday life.
I would argue that while you and I can't do much about what's needed in the big responses, but we can make a big difference down the block, across town, or (using our keyboards) anywhere in the world. This is the time for each of us to do a little bit more. Positive action in the face of our current challenges doesn't require anything extraordinary.
In the coming weeks, we'll write several posts about the "little somethings" that people and organizations in our networks are doing to respond to the needs around them – things that, if done by many people all around the world, add up to make a big impact. If you have an example to share, please comment on this posting, or write to us at pbarber@idealist.org to let us know.
In the meantime, here are a few ideas you might consider:
* If you're in a cold climate like I am, look in the back corners of your closet for serviceable winter gear that you aren't likely to need. Donate anything you find to a homeless shelter.
* Think about the organizations you've made a contribution to in the last few months. Pick out one or two and send a second small check (or make another donation online). If their contributions from others are down by a few percentage points, a small amount from you will be a welcome addition to the bank account, and a boost to morale.
* Scan the organizations in your community with a listing on Idealist and look for volunteer requests that fit your interests and your available time. Many groups can use a hand for a short-term project while others will be looking for just an hour or so a week, at a time that suits your schedule.
* Feel a little more flamboyant? Pick a cause or an organization that you know could use a bit of extra help right now and connect through FaceBook, MySpace, LinkedIn (or whatever networking site you use) to organize your friends to stretch a little and help out. (Be sure to check in with the organization first to be sure you've calibrated your idea in a way that will really help and not be too much of a distraction.)
And please do drop us a line to let us know how you're helping to do just a little bit more.

While there really aren’t any magic potions, silver bullets, or quick fixes for finding a nonprofit job, there is one inside secret that can make your search more effective. First, go to the Idealist.org home page (not RIGHT now, because you won’t know what to do next…finish reading first!). In the upper middle of our homepage, you’ll find a box with three tabs: Find, Post, Receive Email Alerts. Click on the “Find” tab. See the listing for “Organizations”? Click on that.
By Flickr user Nadya Peek
You’ll get to a form that looks almost like the one for searching jobs: you can sort by keyword, area of focus, geography, and language. Fill in criteria that are important to you (the less you fill in, the more—and broader—results you’ll get) and hit search.
(As an aside: Be sure to play around with your search criteria. The “area of focus” criteria isn’t a scientific breakdown: there are lots of combinations of keyword and area of focus that organizations may self-select which may not match your first impression of the work they do. Be sure to try out a number of keywords and areas of focus to refine your search.)
Okay, now read through the results of your search. The majority of the organizations you see don’t have jobs posted on Idealist. How do I know this? There are 83,000+ organizations with profiles on the site and around 5,000 jobs currently posted on Idealist. This means that there are 16 organization profiles for every one job on the site; with that kind of ratio, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity by not searching both jobs AND organizations.
Once you’ve gotten your search results, there are a few ways to proceed:
1. Find the organizations that interest you and look for job posting on their own web sites. Organizations sometimes only post jobs on their own sites because in doing so, the candidates who find and apply for their jobs are not just looking for any opening, but are looking for a job at that organization.
2. Pick five to ten organizations, research the people on staff, and find someone at each organization to email about doing an informational interview with you. Don’t know what an informational interview is or how to do one? Read this.
3. Use the organization search on Idealist as a way to get a sense for the nonprofit landscape in the geographic and issue area in which you’re interested. For example, knowing that there are 73 organizations that fall into the “Environment and Ecology” issue area within 10 miles of Portland, OR will help me get a sense for the diversity of work being done around a specific issue as well as the different players in a particular nonprofit community.
This isn’t a golden ticket to finding a great nonprofit job. However in today’s economy, you’ll have to do more legwork to get the smaller number of posted jobs. For the jobs that aren’t even posted, you’ll need to work both harder and smarter. Using the organization search on Idealist is a great way to do both—efficiently.

The latest podcast in our series The New Service features Scott Beale, Founder and Executive Director of Atlas Corps, a service and exchange corps for professionals in the NGO sector. Also known as a "two-way Peace Corps," Atlas Corps brings rising professionals from NGOs in the Global South to the United States to serve for a year; U.S. professionals find opportunities to serve at NGOs in Colombia, India, and soon, elsewhere. Atlas Corps has just launched recruitment for the 2009-10 fellowship year.
Idealist's Amy Potthast talks with Scott about the need for professional global exchanges, starting up a new service corps, and his experiences that led to developing Atlas Corps.

louisgray recently tweeted, "There are days I would rather go without food than without WiFi..." which has me thinking about the current economic crisis. With little or no money at all, nonprofits are scraping by like everyone else, budgets are being slashed, projects delayed and the sector is depending more than ever on the goodness of volunteers.

I couldn't tell you whether we're headed into another Great Depression or not, but I wonder how life might have been different if the internet had existed 70 years ago.
I've spotted a number of approaches to using the internet to save money. Here are a few of the more interesting ones I've seen:
- Zumbox is a "free digital delivery" service that sends digital copies of your mail to an online post office box instead of your physical address. It's different than a newsletter service as it's your actual documentation in digital format. A nonprofit could offer supporters the option to have their newsletters, membership info and other mailings sent to the digital address instead of their physical address. This reduces the cost of postage while cutting back on paper waste – plus it's free.
- Everything you need to run your office, from blackboards to printers to filing cabinets, can be found on GigoIt. Simply input your zip code and your office supply needs, and they'll show you what's listed. GigoIt, which stands for Garbage In, Garbage Out, will also help you find a home for your extra microwave instead of burying it in a landfill.
- Habitat for Humanity ReStores are a great place to look for used, donated and surplus building materials. Do you need a new door for your office? Or maybe some drywall? You can find it here, and all the money you spend will go toward future Habitat for Humanity projects. ReStores are found in 47 U.S. states and 9 Canadian provinces.
- Shipping can be quite costly, especially for larger items like books or computers. Citizenshipper is a service that matches people with something to ship to people driving in that direction and at a fraction of the cost of traditional shippers. Not sure you trust some stranger to move your item? Citizenshipper incorporates a feedback system so you can track a person's rating before using them.
- Travel for work? You could skip the big box hotel on your next conference trip and save a few dollars by using Airbed & Breakfast or Couchsurfing. Both are peer to peer services that locate airbeds or couches to sleep on while you're traveling. The more adventurous could try Single Spot Camping and set up a tent in someone's back yard.
- And how do you get to your temporary home from the airport? Or to the event? You could try public transportation using Google Transit or try carpooling using one of many apps.
These services might have come in handy when churches and aid organizations were trying to feed the hungry on a dollar already stretched thin. My hope is that we'll all be just fine and realize we can do a lot more with a lot less.

Earlier this week, the Your Call Radio program produced an episode called How Should We Share Resources Between the Generations? Idealist's Steven Pascal-Joiner was a featured guest on the program.
By Flickr user k. tommy
From the Your Call Radio website:
"When the first boomers entered the work force 45 years ago, the elderly were the poorest demographic in the country; as those first boomers hit retirement age, they are among the richest. Medicare, education, environmental policies and social security are all under pressure from the current downturn. What should be weighed in making changes to wealth distribution? How should boomers prepare their businesses and institutions for the next generation?"
Steven weighs in on these issues alongside David Bank, Vice President of Civic Ventures, and Nader Shabahangi, CEO of Agesong. To listen now, visit the Your Call Radio website.

Will you be one of the 10,000 people in Washington, DC for Power Shift 2009 this week?
We will! Idealist will host a graduate school fair this Saturday in the Washington, DC convention center in conjunction with Power Shift, which brings together thousands of young people to "hold elected officials accountable for rebuilding the economy and reclaiming the future through bold climate and clean energy policy."
You must RSVP and be registered for Power Shift to attend the graduate school fair, which takes place February 28 from 11:30am-2:30pm. Representatives from 75 graduate programs are expected to join us. The fair is for professionals and current students who want to learn about graduate degree programs in public and environmental affairs, social work, public health, business, and many more specialties.
While we're in the neighborhood, we'll join with several co-sponsors to host a nonprofit career fair. This fair takes place just before Power Shift—2:00-5:00 pm on Friday, February 27—so conference-goers are welcome to attend, but it is also open to the general public. There are at least 65 nonprofits signed up to discuss career opportunities at their organizations.
If you're in DC, hope to see you this weekend!

Thoughts from Anne.
From Flickr user bejealousofme
As we wrote last week, the current economic crisis is made up of countless smaller crises. Every sector of society is feeling the impact, and the arts are no exception. A general downturn in charitable giving, coupled with declining ticket sales, has left many arts institutions struggling struggling to keep their doors, stages, and gallery walls open.
Beyond their power to entertain, inform and amaze us, the arts also play an important role in the economic well being of our communities. According to Americans for the Arts, arts organizations support 5.7 million jobs and generate $166.2 billion in economic activity every year.
During these tough times, art and entertainment are sometimes seen as luxuries. But the truth is, we still need to take time out to enrich our lives with art, or just to distract ourselves from our troubles! Here are some ideas to do a little bit more to keep the arts alive in your community.
- Choose to attend a performance by a local dance or theater company instead of going to the most recent chick flick or action blockbuster. You can always rent a movie later.
- Looking to put the spark back in your relationship? Start a weekly "date night" and try something new (and affordable) each week – maybe that art gallery down the street you've been meaning to check out, or a local film festival.
- Take the kids to an art museum on a rainy Sunday. It's educational and way more fun than watching High School Musical… again.
- Volunteer your time for your favorite museum, theater or company. You can be an usher, a docent, or a muralist, just to name a few.
How has the economy affected the arts in your community? What small things do you do to support the arts?

In his address to Congress last night, President Barack Obama talked about the Kennedy-Hatch Serve America Act. According to an official press release:
The goal of the legislation is to encourage 175,000 more Americans to give a year of service to address specific national challenges such as strengthening our schools or increasing economic opportunities, thereby expanding the number of such service participants to 250,000. The legislation will also increase opportunities for individuals to serve at any stage of their life, from childhood through retirement, and will support social entrepreneurs with innovative solutions to tackle our most pressing problems.
Amy Potthast, manager of Idealist's year of service and graduate education programs, has been tracking the evolution of the Act since September. You can read all about it on her blog, The New Service, which aims to catalyze citizen service by introducing readers to new programs, offering advice about social impact careers and graduate education, and sharing resources and news related to trends and opportunities in the service world.
Inspired to do some service right now? Search our volunteer opportunities database for needs in your community, learn about international volunteerism, or visit the Idealist Guide to Family Volunteering.
If you want to change the world but you've been wondering how to begin, or you've felt overwhelmed by all the possibilities, we have a book for you. Fresh off the presses, The Idealist.org Handbook to Building a Better World is designed to help you move from thinking about making a difference to actually doing it.
Please visit this page on Idealist to learn more about the Handbook and, after you've read the book, share your own stories on the blog. We hope you enjoy the new book and look forward to hearing from you!

Know someone who deserves money to fund a brilliant, world-changing idea? We know of at least four major competitions whose deadlines are fast approaching:
For people over 60, the Purpose Prize:
According to Civic Ventures, "An inspiring new group of role models for 'engaged retirement' is emerging." Know a social innovator over the age of 60 who is taking on one of society's biggest challenges? Nominate that leader for the Purpose Prize and they could win $100,000. Legal residents of the United States (living in the U.S. or abroad) are eligible (though elected officials are not). Deadline: March 5.
For people under 25, the Do Something Awards:
Applications are currently being accepted for the Do Something Awards (formerly the BR!CK Awards), which recognize "exceptional young social entrepreneurs, activists, and community leaders who have significantly changed the world for the better." For 2009, five winners will be selected; each will receive a minimum of $10,000 and one of those five will win the Grand Prize total of $100,000. Applicants must be age 25 and under and citizens or residents of the U.S. or Canada. Deadline: March 1.
In addition, through their Power in Numbers Grants, DoSomething.org is giving 10 groups of friends $10,000 each to see their project or idea come to life. Visit EnergizeYourCommunity.com to learn more, nominate a project, and cast your vote for the winner. There are two submission periods, one ending March 9 and the next ending April 6.
For undergraduate and graduate level students, the Dell Social Innovation Competition:
The University of Texas at Austin and Dell are looking for college students worldwide with ingenious ideas to change the world. Aspiring social entrepreneurs can enter to win $50,000 in seed funding to launch their creative idea. Students enrolled at any 4-year university or college in the world are eligible to enter. Deadline: March 2.
Thoughts from Hannah, who will be donating her birthday to Kiva this year.
Image courtesy momtourage.net
We've been brainstorming small ways we can contribute to the greater good, despite the worsening economy. I was reminded recently that nonprofit social media maven Beth Kanter celebrated her 51st birthday last year by asking her online network to donate $10 each to the Sharing Foundation.
It's such a simple idea. In fact, once I started looking, I saw lots of evidence ( here, and here, and over here, for starters) that people have caught on to this easy and effective strategy for leveraging personal and professional networks for a good cause.
So, why not? When your next birthday rolls around, consider asking your friends and family to make a donation to your favorite organization instead of presents. It's great for kids' birthday parties, too. Check out these resources for turning a child's birthday into a learning experience from Children for Children and ECHOage.
