Page history last edited by Robert Hackett 14 years, 9 months ago
  • Net Squared: http://netsquared.org/  Net2 is created by  TechSoup, a project of CompuMentor. Our organization has worked directly with non-profits for nearly two decades, providing direct assistance, web-based knowledge and resources, and donated technology. The NetSquared.org online community, focused around their web site, is a venue for learning skills, sharing experiences and developing expertise. Net Tuesday is a monthly real-world gathering of Net2 members and friends. The NetSquared Conference, was held on May 27 and 28, 2008 in San Jose, CA. As in the past two years, the two-day event will bring together innovators in social benefit initiatives, business models, funding for philanthropic initiatives, software development, and technology to advance social change around the globe using social networks and social Web tools such as blogging, podcasting, and virtual communities.

 

  • New Organizing Institute is a unique, nonpartisan, grassroots program that trains young, technology-enabled organizers to work for progressive campaigns and organizations. Through interactive and informative workshops, the New Organizing Institute highlights the best examples of online networking and organizing, connects trainees with the most successful organizing techniques and lessons from across the country, and ensures that the lessons learned from the world of Web 2.0 organizing are shared with a wide variety of people, organizations, and institutions. 

 

  • Non-Profits in Second Life http://nonprofitcommons.org/  NPSL is a group of nonprofit employees and volunteer friends of nonprofits who believe that there is merit and much potential in collaborating and working in Second Life. NPSL was launched in May of 2006, under the leadership of TechSoup.org, the technology website for nonprofits. 

 

  • CIRCLE — The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement) promotes research on the civic and political engagement of Americans between the ages of 15 and 25. Although CIRCLE conducts and funds research, not practice, the projects that we support have practical implications for those who work to increase young people’s engagement in politics and civic life. CIRCLE is also a clearinghouse for relevant information and scholarship. 

 

  • IMPACT Conference
    • The IMPACT Conference builds on the legacy set forth by the COOL Conference and the Idealist Campus Conference to bring college students together once a year across issues, perspectives, geography, and approaches to social change.  Mobilizing an extensive network of campuses and nonprofit organizations, this event is a remarkable opportunity for hundreds of campus community members to exchange resources, meet peers, brainstorm new solutions to community problems, and network with a wide variety of change-oriented individuals.
    • Held once a year in the spring (on different campuses, traveling around the country), the conference is a staple of campus calendars and is often combined with campus alternative break experiences.
    • The conference (as more than a three-day event) can be helpful in integrating the results of this project's training and evaluation into the event agenda, as well as the pre- and post-event experience.  The vision for the conference is to support a richer and deeper national network of active/engaged college students, before, during, and after the three-day conference.  This will entail the use of social media, as well as alternate forms of the conference experience, such as live-blogging, Second Life gatherings, etc.
    • The 2008 conference was held at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts.  Just over 900 people attended -- including students, year of service members, campus staff, and nonprofit professionals from 37 states and DC.  Of those 900 attendees, just over one-third were from Bonner and/or Campus Compact member campuses (some campuses are members of both networks).

 

  • Center for Social Media: The Center for Social Media showcases and analyzes strategies to use media as creative tools for public knowledge and action. It focuses on social documentaries for civil society and democracy, and on the public media environment that supports them. The Center is part of the School of Communication at American University.
