Give Your Two Cents in Net2Ask
Over in Net2Ask, "smokinggoat" asks,
Where are the tech-side volunteers? . . .Where do I go to find hands-on help for the more complex Web 2.0 technologies? And more specifically, where are the tech volunteers?
John Brandt Executive Director of Maine ASCD offers this advice,
The obvious answer to your question (Where do you find...?) is - you need to find a "digital native."

Join in the conversation, read the rest of John's answer and share your advice for how to find tech savvy volunteers for nonprofits and NGO's, or post your own challenges on Net2Ask.
