Idealist.org has some exciting new projects this year!
1st- Grad Fairs: If you, or anyone you know, are thinking of going to grad-school next year for a degree with social impact, join us Idealist for one of the 17 fairs they’ll be hosting in North America this fall (registration is free). At each fair you can meet representatives from 50-200 graduate programs in fields such as Nonprofit Management, Education, Social Work, Global Health, International Affairs, Law, Public Policy, Urban Planning, and many more.

2nd- Mozilla Service Week: Idealist is partnering with Mozilla (the organization behind the Firefox browser) on their first annual Mozilla Service Week which will match thousands of “techie” volunteers around the world with nonprofits in need of help with IT, web design, programming, blogging, and more. Mozilla Service Week will take place September 14-21, 2009, and organizations are so eager for volunteers that a couple of thousand of them have already posted their opportunities. Find out more!
