What You Will Learn
Designers are driven by a passion and a purpose. Non-Profits are also driven by a passion and a purpose. Many of the skill sets that designers leverage every day in their business can be helpful and useful to a non-profit. There is great reward and value in contributing to a cause that benefits your community and thereby benefits yourself.
In this webinar, we will help you discover a path and opportunity to share your unique skills with a non-profit.
During this session, you will:
- Discover the different types of non-profits and how they are structured.
- Identify and find non-profits that align to your values.
- Define your skill sets and how you can use those skills to help a non-profit.

Her design practice serves a single zip code (Vashon Island, WA) where she is known for doing “weird” really well. In 2014 she and her husband established a non-profit to honor the life of their son, Rj Ontiveros. As director for the non-profit, Rjs Kids, her current project is the construction of an epic multi-use outdoor recreation park that includes skate boarding, a pumptrack, and public art features.
