It’s #ProBonoWeek and JRP is celebrating our many wonderful skilled volunteers!
“Pro bono publico” is a Latin phrase meaning “for the public good”. Pro bono, or skill-based volunteering refers to the voluntary engagement of people who share their skills for free or nearly free with individuals or organizations who cannot access these skills, or who pursue a social goal. People can choose to support a non-profit organization or a person in need for example on their own free time, but some companies also offer their employees to participate in pro bono activities during their working time.
Building capacity can be hard for nonprofits for many reasons – they’re busy, understaffed, don’t have the budget. Jericho Road volunteers are seasoned professionals who offer wisdom and expertise! This is a great opportunity for you to make a real contribution using the skill areas you most enjoy and the expertise you have worked hard to develop during your career.
By matching your professional talents to the needs of nonprofits, we are working together to promote community development and strengthen social services in our community.
