Idealist.org - A great platform to reach out to the non-profit world


Today I've been using Idealist.org and immediately had a first success. www.Idealist.org is a networking service focused on the non-profit world. With Idealist you can look for jobs, conferences, volunteer opportunities and organizations in the non-profit world. Based on your preferences you can receive posts on things that are of your interest.

Idealist is a project of Action Without Borders, a nonprofit organization founded in 1995 with offices in the United States and Argentina. As Idealist promotes itself, "it is an interactive site where people and organizations can exchange resources and ideas, locate opportunities and supporters, and take steps toward building a world where all people can lead free and dignified lives."

You can receive alerts when interesting jobs or events are posted, listen to podcasts on relevant topics and stay up-to-date by participating on the blog or subscribing to the RSS-feeds.Today I've posted an invitation for a leadership program focused on the non-profit world, and received the first subscriber via Idealist within the hour! Great medium with many organizations participating in the network.
