IMPORTANT: In response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, we will be postponing this training until further notice. If you are registered for this training, you will be receiving details once the panel has been re-scheduled.  

In the meantime, please find relevant information regarding precautions to stop the spread of coronavirus:  

• Stay informed: We recommend keeping updated of the most current updates from both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  
• Protect yourself: Wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. If possible, avoid getting on overcrowded trains, buses or spaces. 
• Protect others: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. If you don’t have a tissue, cough and sneeze into the inside of your elbow, not your hands. 

• Know when to seek medical attention: Stay at home if you are not feeling well. If you have a fever, cough, and difficulty breathing, seek medical attention. Call in advance to let your health care provider know about possible exposure. 

Nonprofit interest in pro bono as a capacity-building tool is skyrocketing, yet organizations oftentimes do not know where to start. In this training led by Common Impact, learn the basics of skills-based volunteerism from scoping and managing effective projects to finding the right volunteers and reporting results. Receive an introduction to Capacity Commons, an open-source, interactive skills-based volunteering tool and resource hub designed to guide you through every step of the process and help you match with qualified volunteers. Join for insights and real-life examples of how to build lasting corporate partnerships that enable you to transform your operations and better serve your constituents.
