Are you interested in having a massive and sustainable impact?

Silicon Valley is one of the smartest regions on the planet. Our tech ecosystem is solving some of the world’s complex problems: from communications to transportation, search and entertainment. However, when it comes to volunteering abroad opportunities, there is not much out there beyond building a house, painting a wall or digging a well. That is until now!

Join us on September 25th from 5:30pm-7:30pm @ Docusign to learn about Venture2Impact and the growing movement of skilled based volunteering abroad.

Event Agenda:

- Introduction to skilled based volunteering abroad and how you can participate

- Panel discussion featuring volunteers from Salesforce, Netflix and Google

- Audience Q&A

- Mix and Mingle

Snacks are provided. Free event. Mandatory RSVP @ http://bit.ly/V2IEVENT

 

This event is ideal for:

- Skilled individuals with expertise in tech, business and education
