I recently became aware of a great opportunity for nonprofits, NGOs, and other organizations to connect with aspiring web analytics pros—you can recieve free analytics of your organization's online performance. The Analysis Exchange program is the brainchild of the Web Analytics Demystified team, and more information can be found here, or below:

What is the Analysis Exchange?

The Analysis Exchange is an effort designed to provide hands-on training opportunities for aspiring web analytics professionals while providing free web data analysis to the entire nonprofit community. The effort works by connecting organizations, mentors, and student participants:

• Organizations include small businesses, nonprofits, and non-governmental organizations who rarely benefit materially from web analytics;
• Students are motivated and intelligent individuals who are looking for hands-on experience with web analytics systems;
• Mentors come from the community of analytics experts willing to pledge their time to help nonprofits and students around the world

Projects are designed to be completed in around three weeks. Nonprofits and mentors will spend fewer than five hours on each project. The Analysis Exchange is 100 percent free for everyone!

How Does the Exchange Work?

The entire process takes about three weeks:

1. Students, mentors, and organizations join The Analysis Exchange
2. Organizations create a project (video explanation)
3. Students and mentors respond that they are interested in the project
4. The parties agree on a reasonable project and timeline
5. The mentor guides the student's work and proofreads the final product
6. The student and mentor present the analysis back to the organization
7. All three parties will evaluate each other's effort
