In 2012, JRP started supporting Pasadena Village and we still love working with them. Most recently, we’ve placed board member Leslie White, who will officially join their board in July. Here’s what we wrote about our work with them back in 2012:
Volunteer web developers are in short supply; JRP receives many requests for help in updating nonprofits’ websites, and we’re not always able to find the right person. But Pasadena Village (www.pasadenavillage.org) has good web karma, as we’ve found 2 IT volunteers for them! The Village already has a tech-savvy board member, who has done a great job in developing their website. But he wanted an objective eye and some more formal skills in web development. Ray first took a stab at a few of the tasks needed, and soon Cameron took up the remaining tasks. We also posted a micro-volunteer opportunity through Sparked and Volunteer LA and got wonderful feedback from about a dozen people to improve the Village website. Thanks to all of the volunteers who have given feedback and time to Pasadena Village, so that they’re well-represented online.

Jericho Road Pasadena connects skilled volunteers with nonprofits that offer critical services to under-served residents in their communities. Meeting this need allows nonprofit staff to focus on stronger delivery of services, thereby building better communities.
