Connected for Change - Marketing Day Nonprofit Recruitment
HandsOn Twin Cities Connected for Change series brings together a community of collaborators to build capacity for nonprofits through a one-day event focused on a specific functional area. Our upcoming Connected for Change Day is Marketing Day. Marketing Day is an opportunity for you to get expert advice on marketing related challenges from pro bono consultants. As you know, many nonprofits are unable to staff roles in all foundational functional areas and greatly benefit from being able to consult with trained professionals. To see past projects covered and the impact from our last Connected for Change Marketing Day, view our impact report here. Some common projects include – Social Media Strategy, Tagline Development, Brand identity work, company mission statement creation etc.

CVC-TC Program: Principles and Power of Pro Bono Volunteerism
In this session, Tracy Nielsen and Joy Altmann from HandsOn Twin Cities will share the power of pro bono volunteerism and the impact that it can make for companies, nonprofits, and individual volunteers.
The best volunteers possess a sense of self-awareness. It is important for us all to reflect on the preconceptions and biases that we may have about the community before engaging. This is why HandsOn Twin Cities is thrilled to partner with REM5 For Good to offer this exclusive learning experience! Join us for "1 City. 2 Realities." the world's first truly virtual exhibition space highlighting racial inequalities in our nation and community. Minneapolis has long thrived on the reputation of being one of the "Best Places To Live" in the country, while at the same time, has one of the largest racial inequality gaps in the nation.
Through photos, videos, audio clips, and data visualizations, this virtual exhibition highlights this reality to help us get past "Minnesota Nice" and into the place where we can address the systemic inequality in our community head-on. Find out more at https://www.handsontwincities.org/1-city-2-realities. If you would like to offer this to a larger group, don’t hesitate to email Tracy Nielsen directly for more information.
