Free Nonprofit Job Postings on Idealist for June

Our pals over at the Wild Apricot blog posted this about Idealist.org offering nonprofit organizations FREE (yes, I said FREE!) online job postings during the month of June. If you've not used Idealist.org before, you need to GET ON IT! It's where I've found, literally, my last three nonprofit jobs and where I've posted umpteen number of job openings for organizations I worked with. I still get a daily digest email with jobs all over the country to match the search query I requested (not that I'm looking).

You can learn more about it with Idealist's cute and informative YouTube vid too:

NPower Resources for Working with Tech Volunteers

NPower has a nice collection of resources to help organizations work with technical volunteers that your nonprofit might want to explore. They include:

Apply for a Tech Volunteer

The NTEN Blog reminds you that February 22 is the deadline to apply for a CTC Vista volunteer for the summer of 2008.

CTC Vistas are Americorps paid volunteers help organizations that use information and communications technologies to meet the needs of at-risk and low-income communities. Since its inception seven years ago, the project has placed more than 250 VISTA members in over 100 nonprofit organizations. To learn more about this program, read TechSoup's article Vistas of Equal Access.

Maintaining Data Integrity

Maintaining data integrity requires constant vigilance. My personal Fourth Law of Thermodynamics says that databases are subject to entropy and will turn to piles of mush if not acted upon by an outside agent. This outside agent is the Data Manager, who provides quality control.
